Statewide Home Repair Program

How it works

The Executive Office of Housing announced a statewide home repair program funded with $6 million from Rhode Island’s housing bond. The state says the program is intended to provide critical home repair assistance statewide, and that it builds on an earlier state home repair effort.

What the money covers

The state’s public announcement describes the funding as support for “critical home repair assistance,” but the official page does not list a detailed scope of eligible repair categories. Because the posted material is thin, it is not possible to say from the source whether wildfire hardening items such as vents, roofs, siding, or defensible space are included.

Amounts and matching

The state announcement names the total program funding as $6 million. It does not state a per-home maximum, reimbursement rate, matching requirement, or whether funds are a grant versus a loan for individual households on the public page reviewed.

How to apply

The state’s grant listing page says applications are accepted through the Executive Office of Housing funding process. The governor’s announcement says the program began accepting applications on 2025-11-15.

Timing and deadlines

The state’s public announcement is dated 2025-11-13 and says applications open on 2025-11-15. The separate housing grants page does not provide a deadline for the home repair program on the page reviewed.
