City of Muskegon Community & Neighborhood Services Home Repair Program

How it works

The City of Muskegon’s Community & Neighborhood Services home repair application is the intake form for multiple repair programs. The city says approved repairs are based on the specific program, and details about the needed repair and program requirements are provided after approval. Some programs use a non-diminishing lien that is forgiven at the end of the required period. Some programs require a co-pay.

What the money covers

The form lists repair categories such as:

• Furnace or boiler
• Water heater
• Plumbing/sewer
• Roof
• Electrical repairs
• Foundation
• Siding
• Other eligible health-and-safety repairs

The city says all requested repairs must meet a health and safety threshold. No cosmetic repairs are allowed.

Amounts and matching

The form does not state a fixed grant amount. It does say some programs require a co-pay ranging from $60 to $500, based on household income level.

How to apply

Applicants must complete the home repair request form and submit supporting documentation in person to Community and Neighborhood Services at 933 Terrace Street, Room 205, Muskegon, MI 49440.

Timing and deadlines

The form itself does not give a closing date. It says some programs may have waiting lists, and details are provided after application approval.
