The City of Novi Minor Home Repair program seeks candidates for its upcoming service year. The program helps qualified low-income homeowners in the city make needed repairs and improvements to their residences. The program tackles priority improvement projects including furnace repair; water heater, toilet, or garbage disposal replacement; fixing porches, wiring, leaky roofs; and removal of dangerous trees. Grants up to $5,000 are possible. In addition to help with repairs, homeowners can apply for weatherization assistance to help improve their home's energy efficiency and year-round comfort, and lower utility bills.
Applicants must be 18, own their own residence or mobile home in Novi, with total income at or below HUD Section 8 low-income definitions based on family size. Novi's program is administered through the Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency (OLHSA).
