The Detroit Home Repair Pre-Application is now open and will close on Tuesday, September 22 at 5 pm.

To complete your pre-application go to:
portal.neighborlysoftware.com/CITYOFDETROITMI/participant

MACC Development is available to help you with your application at our community center, The Commons Detroit, 7900 Mack Ave., Detroit on:
9 am - 5 pm, Wednesday, September 16, 2026
10 am - 2 pm, Saturday, September 19, 2026

Please note: Pre-Applications are NOT selected on a first come, first served basis. If the Helpline (866 number) is experiencing high call volume, it may be best to call back in a few days.

The City of Detroit Human Homeless & Family Services' Critical Home Repair Program provides free repairs for eligible homeowners, directly addressing the most critical home repair needs.

The Critical Home Repair Program provides funding to address needs like:
-severe plumbing issues
-actively leaking roofs
-lack of working furnace or boiler
-electrical hazards
-accessibility-related repairs to bathrooms and home entrances/exits

To apply for this program, households must meet the following initial requirements:

-Own and occupy a home in the City of Detroit

-Be current on property taxes or in a payment plan

-Have at least one of the following living in their home:

-A child under the age of 18

-A senior age 62+

-A resident with a documented disability (receiving disability benefits)

-Make no more in household income than the limits described in the table above

Funding for home repair is limited so applications with the highest needs will be prioritized for assistance.

Due to limited funding, only the most critical repairs will be funded per selected household. The Program may not be able to support all repair needs for any given home.

The Human Homeless & Family Services will use its online Neighborly system to accept applications. Residents can apply for the Critical Home Repair Program and HHFS’s LeadSafe Housing repair program with one application, during open periods (twice a year).

The September 2026 pre-application period is September 9, 2026 at 8 AM - September 22, 2026 at 5 PM.

We’re here for our community. 💚

You might need to bring out that old washing board. 😂 There are plenty of new "bodies of water" around the neighborhood.

The Commons is closed right now due to a power outage. Sorry for the inconvenience - we'll update here as soon as we reopen. We're expecting to be able to reopen on Sunday morning.
