Emergency Home Repairs

How it works

TrueNorth Community Services says its Housing Resource Center provides education and resources to help homeowners assess housing needs and find solutions. Within that program, it offers Emergency Home Repairs for low-income homeowners in Newaygo County who need help funding a home repair project.

What the money covers

The page says the program can assist with:

• Roof repairs
• Well repairs
• Septic repairs
• Furnace repairs
• Electrical work, but only certain projects
• Health and safety related repairs

The page does not say whether the assistance is a grant, whether repayment is ever required, or whether homeowners must contribute matching funds.

Amounts and matching

• No maximum dollar amount is listed.
• No match requirement is listed.
• No per-project cap or lifetime cap is listed.

How to apply

For an application, contact Jennifer Knapp at (231) 924-0641 ext. 130 or jknapp@truenorthservices.org.

Timing and deadlines

• The page does not give a closing date, application window, or waitlist information.
• The page says TrueNorth “may be able to assist,” so availability may depend on funding and project review, but no formal funding status details are posted.

Who should consider it

This resource is aimed at homeowners facing urgent repair needs in Newaygo County, especially if the issue affects health and safety.
