Housing Minor Repair Program

How it works

The City of College Station provides minor repair assistance through a grant of up to $20,000. The program is for owner-occupied homes that need necessary but minor repairs, with the goal of keeping the home safe and livable rather than funding a full rebuild or broad code-compliance project.

What the money covers

The page says eligible repairs include:

• Replacement of an air conditioner or heater
• Replacement of a water heater system
• Repair to plumbing or electrical systems
• Water, sewer, or gas line breaks
• Electrical system failures
• Addressing health and safety issues
• Ordinance compliance
• Other minor repairs necessary to ensure safe living conditions
• Exterior home repairs or structural integrity issues
• Minor weatherization
• Roofing repair or replacement
• Minor gutter installation
• Walkway repair or replacement
• Siding or exterior trim repair

Amounts and matching

• Maximum assistance: up to $20,000.
• The page does not mention any matching requirement.

How to apply

Applicants must download the program files, complete them, and return them to the Community Development office with all applicable information. The page links to a Minor Repair Checklist, Minor Repair Application, and Minor Repair Program Summary, including Spanish versions.

Timing and deadlines

• The page does not state an application deadline, opening date, or closing date.

Notes

The page refers to the program as the "Housing Minor Repair Loan Program" in the qualification section, but the page headline and program description describe it as grant-based assistance.
