Program details

How it works

The City of Jackson’s Housing Rehabilitation Program is meant to repair health and safety hazards and extend the useful life of a home. The city says the program targets households that cannot afford major repairs on their own.

What the money covers

The official page lists these eligible repair categories:

  • Roof replacements
  • Plumbing repairs
  • Electrical repairs
  • Structural safety improvements
  • Accessibility modifications

The city’s broader housing pages also describe housing rehabilitation and repair programs as part of its housing assistance offerings.

Who it helps

The city says the program is for Jackson homeowners, and it specifically targets households that cannot afford major repairs.

How it is administered

The city says applicants should contact the Office of Housing and Community Development (OHCD) to confirm income eligibility and application windows. OHCD inspects the property and establishes a scope of work, and contractors are assigned through the city’s procurement process.

Why it matters for home hardening

Although this is a general home-repair program rather than a wildfire- or storm-specific retrofit grant, some of the covered work can still reduce disaster vulnerability, especially roof and structural repairs.
