Program details
How it works
A Brush with Kindness is Livingston County Habitat for Humanity’s housing-preservation program for existing homeowners. It uses volunteer labor to complete small repair projects when the organization has enough volunteers and resources.
What the money covers
The program focuses on repairs such as storm doors, ramps, porches, steps, and sidewalk repairs. Some interior repairs are possible. The page says projects that are improvements to the property are not included, and the program does not do large or major repairs such as window replacements, house painting, roofing, remodeling, or regular maintenance.
Amounts and matching
The page does not state a dollar amount. It says homeowners must have a stable legal income and pay for materials. LCHFH provides the labor.
How to apply
Homeowners complete an application, the committee reviews it, then the team performs a site visit to determine whether the project meets criteria, develop a tentative budget, and decide whether it can be completed. Project execution begins only after the homeowner signs the agreement.
Timing and deadlines
The source does not list open and close dates. It says all repairs depend on volunteer availability and resources.
