Habitat for Humanity's Critical Home Repair for Veterans
As a service to the many men and women who have given their time in the defense of our Country, Habitat for Humanity’s Critical Home Repair Program for Veterans provides extensive interior or exterior home repairs that alleviate critical health, life and safety issues or housing code violations. The cost of repairs is repaid into a Fund for Humanity that helps other families in need. The program offers a zero percent interest (0%) loan. The Veteran will be expected to pay back some portion of the low cost repair with a zero percent loan. The number figure and longevity of the loan would be mutually agreed upon by the lender and partner family.
