HeRO Program

HOME Repair Opportunity Program

The Home Repair Opportunity (HeRO) Program provides funding to meet the growing need for home repair for low and moderate income homeowners. MHDC provides federal HOME funds to selected community partners who operate the program in the region they serve.

Money for the 2009 Funding Year has been allocated to 21 nonprofit and community development agencies who have each applied for and received a portion of the $5 million set aside for this program. To be eligible to receive funding, your town must be located within one of the participating agency’s governing areas.

The maximum income for participants ranges between $33,000 and $45,100 for a family of four depending on the county of residence. Participating agencies can provide you with more information about the income limits. Contact these agencies for more information and to register for the program.

Eligible homeowners may receive cash assistance up to $20,000 for repairs.
