Throughout Van Buren County, assistance is available for major, important home repairs for eligible homeowners. In collaboration with our communities, the County has secured additional funding for the program, covering those communities not already covered.
The CDBG Home Repair Program has funding available to help eligible homeowners pay for select home repairs. Homeowners who submit a complete application can qualify to receive funding for repairs that keep a home safe, warm, and sound.
Homeowners looking to participate must meet requirements and apply. Incomplete applications cannot be funded. Our partner, Market One, can answer questions and assist with applying. Funding is limited and given on a first-come, first-served basis. Read below to see if you are eligible, what repairs you can do, and how to apply.
