Critical Home Repair Program (Only residents of Anchorage, Alaska)
Repairs are an extension of Habitat’s core building program. They allow us to serve a different population (existing homeowners), yet follow the same basic tenets for eligibility – demonstrated need, ability to pay, willingness to partner – and the Habitat model of providing a hand-up, not a hand-out.
Habitat Anchorage plans to offer home repair assistance services this summer. At this time, we are only able to accept inquiries.
If you are interested in these services, please complete the interest form, and we will contact you once the selection process begins.
