Harris County Home Repair Program

How it works

Harris County Housing & Community Development says its Home Repair Program is intended to address health and safety hazards in homes owned and occupied by very low- to low-income residents in Harris County. The county says the homeowner must meet one of two personal eligibility paths: be 62 or older, or be a disabled homeowner with no age restriction.

The program page also states that the county is not currently accepting applications at this time, but it separately notes that Home Repair is currently accepting applications only for Health & Safety Projects (Septic & Wells). The page provides links to the program guidelines, application, and related standards, but the official page excerpt does not state a dollar amount.

What the money covers

The county describes the purpose broadly as fixing health and safety hazards. The page specifically calls out current acceptance only for Health & Safety Projects (Septic & Wells). The page does not list a maximum award, reimbursement structure, or match requirement.

How to apply

The page directs homeowners to complete the application and mail or email the completed packet to Harris County Housing & Community Development. The page lists the department address in Houston and provides an email address and phone number. It also points homeowners to the Home Repair Guidelines and Application and minimum property standards documents.

Timing and deadlines

The page states that the program is not currently accepting applications at this time, while also noting a narrower acceptance for septic and well health and safety projects. No end date, reopening date, or funding cap is stated on the page excerpt.
