Emergency Home Repair & Rehabilitation
The Emergency Home Rehabilitation Program provides up to $1,500 in financial assistance to address urgent health, safety, and habitability issues that can be resolved through low-cost repairs. Assistance is intended to stabilize the home quickly and prevent minor issues from becoming more costly problems. Examples of eligible repairs may include replacing a broken toilet or water heater element, repairing leaking plumbing, replacing damaged locks or exterior door hardware, repairing small sections of roofing, replacing broken windows, repairing electrical outlets or light fixtures, replacing smoke or carbon monoxide detectors, repairing steps or handrails, or replacing damaged flooring that presents a safety hazard. The program is designed to provide timely, cost-effective repairs that help homeowners maintain a safe and livable residence. Eligible applicants must be Seminole Nation members, Freedmen, or Native American families, own and occupy their home for at least five years, and meet HUD low-income guidelines (≤80% of the national median income).
