Greater Blessings

---

The Greater Blessings Program is designed to help low income homeowners, often the elderly and handicapped, do basic health and safety repairs to their homes. In many cases these repairs allow the homeowner to stay in a house that they might otherwise be forced to leave. 

The program allows for repairs costing up to $10,000 in materials and professional labor. Most of the work is done by volunteers working with the homeowner. There are no loan documents with this program. Instead, the homeowner is asked to repay the costs, over time and with no interest charged, on terms they can afford. Their payments stay in the community to assist other families and the homeowner gets the Greater Blessing of giving back. 

 Requirements: The beneficiary must own and occupy the home, have income at 100% of the local median, have no other resources with which to make the repairs, and have sufficient income to repay the construction costs.
