We live in Kansas City, KS. Our house is old and needs major repairs. My husband is self-employed as an electrician and is a diabetic. I work full-time and have tried to fix the house, but we are just to far behind to fix major things. For example, our house needs a new roof, our ceiling in the living room has fallen because of the leak on the roof. We have water stains all over the house on the ceiling. Our plumbing is bad too. We have been without a furnance for over 5 years, we can’t afford a new one, our water heater leaks. We were recently given a furnace and will have it installed soon. We have bought some of the shingles for the roof, but can’t afford to buy the rest or hire the roofer at this time. We added a garage to the house, since we were ordered by the court to tear down the old one and build a new one. Well the garage is built, I had to refinance the house, but have no money to put a door, siding or sheetrock the inside. Our driveway needs to be redone, the asphalt has broken off on some places, our windows are not energy efficient, we do not have storm windows, only single pane windows and our wooden floors are a mess. The floors need to be redone, they are awful. We do not have gutters anymore or awnings. We had to cut a tree in order to build the garage and it knocked off the smaller roof over the front door, so now it is without a roof. SIGH SIGH SIGH.. our house needs major repairs and I just don’t know where to begin. We need a home improvement grant desperately, I don’t want to have the worse house in the neighborhood and have The City Code Violations again, and have to go to court again. I have tried to figure out a way to save money, to prioritize, but I just don’t know how to anymore. A grant would be wonderful and would give me the jump start I need. I have to decide soon IF I am going to abandon my house, you see, I have a rodent problem now. I REALLY need a grant and I just don’t know how to go about it. Please help us.

I live in LaGrange, Georgia. My home is an older house. The house is sound, but the plumbing and electrical is badly in need of upgrading, it will not pass city codes. I cannot afford to make these changes. I need a home improvement grant. Thank you.
