Providing assistance with critical repairs

Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity does some critical repairs for needy homeowners during periods when we are not fully active building a house. The repairs must be needed for health or safety reasons. A typical example is building a ramp or widening a doorway for a family when some member has to start using a wheelchair. This service is provided only when the family owns the house – not on rental property.

To qualify for this service, the family must be unable to afford to have modifications made by a professional repair person. Typically, the family provides all materials, and Habitat for Humanity is only asked to provide the labor. In some cases, a loan to cover the materials may be made in an amount not to exceed $1,000. In either case, the family must go through an application and review process. If you wish to pursue this type of assistance, please contact us by email or phone, and somebody will contact you.

Important Note Since we are an all-volunteer organization, and do most work only on Saturdays, we do not take on emergency repairs. We cannot guarantee completion of the review process or the work (if approved) within a short period of time. If you need emergency repairs, please check with other agencies.
