Fluvanna-Louisa Housing Foundation Essential Home Repair

How it works

The Fluvanna-Louisa Housing Foundation says it provides grant and loan assistance with necessary and critical home repairs for income-eligible residents. It works with residents to obtain grant funds to help cover the cost of major home repairs, and if a loan is used, repaying it helps fund repairs for someone else later.

What the money covers

The official site describes the program broadly as support for major home repairs and critical repairs. The foundation’s county budget materials also say it provides "Essential Home Repairs" and uses local contractors and suppliers for critical repairs. The county materials note that the foundation has worked on home repair services, basic home improvements, and roof-related work, but the program page itself does not list a detailed repair menu.

How to apply

The foundation says to:

1. Find out if you are income-qualified.
2. Know what repairs you need.
3. Get two or three contractor estimates so the foundation can understand approximate cost.
4. Fill out the Service Request form online, print it, and mail it in, or call the office.

Contact

The page lists the foundation office in Louisa and provides a phone number for help with the application process.

Timing

The page does not state a funding cap, deadline, or whether the program is first-come, round-based, or continuously open.
