Purpose The Emergency Repair Program (ERP) provides financial assistance to income eligible homeowners to make emergency repairs to their homes that are necessary to ensure the occupant's continued safety.

  • An inoperable furnace
  • A leaky roof
  • Hazardous structural conditions
  • Unsafe electrical & plumbing conditions
  • Eligibility As a homeowner, you may be eligible for assistance under ERP, if you meet the following conditions:
  • Your household income does not exceed 60% of the area median income.
  • You have not filed for bankruptcy or defaulted on a mortgage in the preceding three years.
  • You own the home, do not rent the home or use the home for business purposes.
