At Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati, we believe that every individual deserves a safe and decent place to call home. That's why our critical home repair programs are designed to provide assistance to homeowners in need without the burden of a payback policy.

​

We understand that unexpected repairs can place a significant financial strain on families, especially those who are already facing economic challenges. Our commitment is to help alleviate the burden by offering critical home repairs without any requirement for repayment.

​

By providing these repairs without a payback policy, we aim to empower homeowners and enable them to maintain the integrity and safety of their homes. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to live in a safe and healthy environment, regardless of their financial circumstances.

Frank’s son shared, “I cannot thank you guys enough for not only the assistance, but treating my father with dignity throughout the process. His life has seen a lot of difficulty, including economic hardship outside of his control. The mental toll of seeking assistance  when it feels like you’re being dehumanized has been a deterrent to exploring different programs. Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati could not have done a better job of treating my dad with respect as a veteran, and a human being. That portion is as appreciated as the actual home repairs.”
