RESTORE Program

How it works

Community Action for Wyoming County says the RESTORE program makes emergency repairs to homes owned by very low-income elderly heads of households. The emergency needs are addressed as soon as possible according to an established timetable.

The program is limited to emergency repairs necessary to eliminate a health and safety threat to the household.

If funding is available, the evaluation will take place within 72 hours and the work will be completed within 30 days.

The homeowner must sign a lien agreement for a three-year period for the cost of repairs and applicable fees.

What the money covers

The page lists examples of covered repairs: electrical wiring, plumbing, water supply, septic issues, heating systems, steps, ramps, porches, doors, windows, handrails, roofing, sump systems, and correcting drainage problems.

Amounts and matching

How to apply

Applicants eligibility is determined upon receipt of required documentation and the emergency need is evaluated. No further application steps are provided on the page.
