Home Repairs Program
Preserving Safe, Decent Housing
Helena Area Habitat’s Home Repair Program provides assistance to very low-income homeowners to perform vital repairs which improve the health and safety of their living conditions. These programs not only benefit the homeowner and their family, but revitalizes the appearance of neighborhoods, provides more community engagement opportunities for volunteers, and preserves the stock of decent affordable housing in the Helena area and rural Montana.
Helena Area Habitat for Humanity programs are not emergency or crisis-based programs. If you have any health or safety issue causing imminent danger, please request a copy of our resource guide.
