Detroit Home Repair Resource Guide

October 2019 - Current

The Detroit Home Repair Resource Guide documents existing home repair resources available in the city and connects residents to the services they need.

In a city with aging housing stock, gaining access to home repair resources is critical for Detroit residents to attain housing stability.

This guide, compiled by Poverty Solutions at the University of Michigan with input from numerous partners, presents program overview pages that describe what kind of home repair support is offered and any eligibility requirements for programs that are currently accepting applications or referrals as of April 2026.

Reference tables are included to find programs based on what home repair support is offered and eligibility requirements. Programs that are currently closed to applications and referrals, or are expected to accept applications or referrals at a later time, are included in a separate reference table.
  • This guide is meant to aid you in finding programs that provide the type of home repair support you may be looking for and that you may qualify for based on typical eligibility criteria. This guide does not provide a detailed account of all of the home repair support services offered, eligibility requirements, application requirements, or other features for each program listed. These features may also change without notice. Please contact programs directly to confirm these details.

    Programs that provide subrecipient grants to other organizations or governmental units to administer home repair support programs directly to residents are included in the Appendix. If you administer a program that provides home repair support services and would like it to be included in the next version of the guide, please complete this form: https://myumi.ch/jJZEx
