Critical Home Repair
Charleston County Government, Community Development & Revitalization · County program
Charleston County ran a homeowner repair program that paid partner nonprofits to make critical repairs for county homeowners age 62 and older. Covered work included roof replacement, weatherization, insulation, HVAC, and accessibility modifications, but the county page says the application period is currently closed.
Program details
How it works
Charleston County allocated ARPA funds to repair the homes of county homeowners who are 62 years of age and older. The county did not directly perform the repairs; instead, it worked with partner organizations that had experience operating home repair programs.
What the money covers
The county’s program page lists these repair services as having been included:
- Roof replacement
- Interior damage caused by a leaky roof
- Handicap-accessible modification and ramps
- Weatherization
- Insulation
- HVAC
Timing and status
The county states the application period is closed and that the program is not accepting new applications currently. It also says applications were accepted from July through October 2022.
How homeowners got help
The page says homeowners seeking repair services could receive assistance completing their application. It also provides a 211 referral path for immediate help with nonprofit repair services in the Charleston community.
Important limitation
The county page does not describe this as a wildfire-specific or flood-specific hardening program. It is a general critical-repair program that can overlap with resilience work such as roof repair and weatherization.
