GLCAP Home Repair Program

How it works

Great Lakes Community Action Partnership says its Home Repair program is grant funded and provides home repair assistance for one or two significant problems in the home. The organization says the related Home Rehabilitation program covers more extensive repair work.

What the money covers

On official Ottawa County materials tied to GLCAP, the covered work includes:

• electrical repairs and upgrades
• plumbing repairs and upgrades
• ADA modifications
• roof replacements
• furnace replacements
• water tank replacements
• insulation
• siding repairs
• structural repairs
• exterior repairs, including roof, siding, and windows

The county’s newsletter flyer also states that the Home Repair program is 100% grant-funded and that window replacement is offered with the Home Rehabilitation program only.

Amounts and matching

The program is described as grant funded and provided at no cost to the homeowner. No maximum dollar amount was stated on the official pages reviewed.

How to apply

The GLCAP page directs homeowners to request an application through the organization’s home repair program page. The county’s newsletter flyer gave a phone contact for application help.

Timing and deadlines

The GLCAP page reviewed does not list a fixed application window. Funding and availability may change, but no formal open/close date was stated on the official page reviewed.
