Eligible repairs may include the following: • Exterior painting • Rafters, soffit and fascia repair • Window glass and screens • Railings and stairs • Landing and porches • Ineligible repairs include: • Repairs to mobile homes • Driveways, sidewalks and paved areas; and • Removal of inoperable vehicles Client Eligibility To receive repair work, the applicant must demonstrate ownership of the unit and it must be his or her primary residence.
