Helping to fix serious structural issues for Austin homeowners.
GO REPAIR! addresses substandard housing conditions to make safe and barrier-free homes for Austinites. Low-income families struggling to make required home repairs may be eligible. Grants are up to $20,000 to fix structural issues for homeowners.
The GO REPAIR! Grant is to help fix dangerous conditions, such as collapsing floors, decaying roofs, and faulty electric and plumbing leaks.
Home modifications can ensure Austinites can get around their home safely. The grant also makes homes more accessible for homeowners with disabilities.
Austin nonprofits administer the grants and repairs. Eligible homeowners do not need to pay for any of the grant-approved repairs.
