Is there a home repair grant in New York?

Residential Emergency Services to Offer (Home) Repairs to the Elderly (RESTORE) Program, New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR), State of New York

The Residential Emergency Services to Offer (Home) Repairs to the Elderly (RESTORE) program provides financial resources to assist senior citizen homeowners age sixty and over, with the cost of addressing emergencies and code violations that pose a threat to their health and safety or affect the livability of their home.

Grant funds may be used to assist homeowners with the completion emergency repairs, or addressing code violations. An eligible emergency repair eliminates a hazardous condition or deficiency that poses an immediate threat to the life, health or safety or the elderly homeowner.

Municipalities and not-for-profit organizations are eligible to apply for RESTORE program resources, homeowners and individuals are not eligible to apply directly to HCR for assistance. Once selected for funding, these municipalities and not-for-profit organizations become “Local Program Administrators” and provide assistance to eligible homeowners.

Please contact the organization or municipality identified that serves the area where the household is located.

Check the agency's page for whether it is taking applications.
