What to Expect

After we have received your complete application (via mail or email), we will verify your income and ownership of your home.  If all criteria are met, a member of our operations crew will contact you to do a detailed home inspection and scope of work to estimate the cost of the project.  Our board will then review your application and approve or decline your case.  If approved, we match your home project with a funding source (grant, sponsor, etc.) and schedule the work your home needs.  Please be patient with us!  We look forward to helping you!
