Common Questions

 

Who offer home improvement programs?

 
This types of government programs are offered by both the Federal (HUD for urban and suburban owners) and USDA for rural owners) and your State.
 

Major states like California, Florida, Illinois, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas have robust and complete assistance programs while other smaller states sometime lack much resources for families. Big cities also always have such programs in place and some smaller counties often do.

 
 
 

When is the best time to apply?

 
The important is to contact the local organization(s) in charge, find out the requirements, and apply to obtain your fundings.

These organizations can direct you to other local resources and their local volunteers can sometime help quickly.
