Urgent Repair Program

How it works

When funding is available, eligible participants may qualify for the Urgent Repair Program. The program helps alleviate housing conditions that pose an imminent threat to the life or safety of very low-income homeowners with special needs.

The page says the program may provide accessibility modifications and other repairs necessary to prevent displacement of homeowners with special needs, such as frail elderly people and persons with disabilities.

What the money covers

The page lists examples of repairs that may be addressed:

• imminent structural system failures, including porches, steps, and roofs
• ramps, hand rails, and grab bars
• kitchen and bathroom adaptations
• door alterations

The page emphasizes that the program is intended for situations where there is an imminent risk. If the repair is not addressed, the client will be unable to continue living in the home.

Timing and deadlines

The page does not provide application dates or a deadline. It only states that eligibility depends on funding being available.

How to apply

The page gives a program contact for questions:

• Angela Faircloth, Certified Information/Referral and Dementia Care Specialist, Family Caregiver Specialist, NC Options Counselor, Tai Chi Instructor
• Phone: 910-592-4653

Notes

The page does not state any dollar amount, match requirement, or exact application process.
