The City of Chesapeake works with various volunteer organizations that repair homes for Chesapeake citizens.
To be eligible you must:
- Own your home and live in it
- Household income has to be below the median for the city
- Property taxes must be up-to-date
Types of Repairs
There are no hard-and-fast rules. For the most part, handicapped ramps, floor and wall repairs, painting and other minor carpentry work is what they do best.
Once an applicant has been pre-screened for eligibility, the home is evaluated on an individual basis by a volunteer for suitability. Accordingly, the homeowner may be referred to other appropriate agencies for additional assistance.
