How it works: The application process

Check our requirements
General qualification criteria:

- Must meet income guidelines, household income may not exceed 70 percent (65 percent for Gwinnett plumbing program, see below) as defined by current HUD Definitions.
Important service area information
We’re volunteer powered! This means that our service area is defined by – and updated according to – the volunteers that we currently have and how far they’re able to extend their services.
Our current service area includes all of Gwinnett County, Johns Creek, Milton, Sandy Springs (north of 285), Alpharetta, Roswell, and Mountain Park.
If you live outside of our current service area or do not meet other qualification criteria, please visit our Additional Resources page.
Fill out the application
If all of the criteria above is met, we invite you to fill out an application either by applying online, sending an email to info@homerepairs.org or calling 404-850-8766.
(Please note that applying online is the fastest way to be considered, however, we make every effort to respond to each request for help in a timely manner.)
Wait while we review your application
We do not operate on a first come, first served basis. Instead, we serve homeowners based on the level of need.
In making this decision, we consider things like:
- who lives in the home (children, people with disabilities, seniors);
- the impact that income has on homeowners’ ability to afford repairs;
- how many volunteers and what kind of funding is needed for each project.
After your application has been reviewed, we put you on our waiting list for home repairs until we’re able to help you.
