HOME REPAIR SERVICES
Habitat for Humanity MontDelco does more than build and sell homes affordably because we recognize that the response to the affordable housing crisis doesn’t just affect those looking to purchase a home, but those who already own them and struggle physically or financially to maintain them.
Habitat MontDelco offers a variety of programs for income-qualified homeowners living in both Montgomery and Delaware Counties. These programs are construction-based resources with a direct focus on addressing health, safety and accessibility concerns within the home. Currently, we have general home repair programming, Whole Home Repair programming in partnership with Delaware County, Accessibility-focused programming called Adaptive Living Initiatives, and Veteran focused programming. To learn more about any of the programming we offer, please keep reading and explore the links below to learn more!
**Habitat MontDelco’s Programs are not designed to be an emergency or crisis-based resource. If you are experiencing issues within your home, that put you or members of your household in imminent danger, please dial 211 or visit pa211.org.
Restoring More than Homes
Home Repair Program
The general Home Repair program is open to all homeowners who occupy the home for which they would like repairs, have owned that home for at least a year, are income qualified and meet our other program parameters. The program is geared toward addressing health and safety related concerns, including but not limited to: roof replacement and repair, plumbing repairs, electrical repairs, HVAC repairs, replacement of broken doors and windows, drywall repairs, etc. This program is unable to provide upgrades and/or cosmetic improvements.

Home Preservation is Community Preservation
Delaware County Whole Home Repair Program
In July of 2022, The PA Whole Home Repairs bill, (SB-1135), was signed into law, appropriating $125M for use across the state toward the preservation of affordable housing and workforce development initiatives.
In August of 2023, Habitat MontDelco was selected as the Whole Home Repair Program (WHRP) administrator on behalf of Delaware County. The program is a construction-based resource, which provides income-qualified homeowners with necessary health, safety, and accessibility-related home repairs, and modifications up to $50k per home. Through this program, Habitat MontDelco aims to stabilize communities, address Delaware County’s aging housing stock, preserve naturally occurring affordable homeownership, and prevent qualifying homeowners from being displaced due to deferred and cost-prohibitive home repair and maintenance.

Advancing Our Approach to Accessibility
Adaptive Living Initiatives Program
Habitat MontDelco’s Adaptive Living Initiatives (ALI) program is a comprehensive accessible home modification resource available across Montgomery and Delaware Counties, PA.
It aims to identify and address accessibility adaptations and critical home repairs for qualifying clients. The hallmark of this program is that it employs the expertise of Occupational Therapists (OT’s) who work directly with clients, (and caregivers, if applicable) to determine mobility challenges, goals, and accessible solutions to be addressed by Habitat.
The ALI program addresses this need with a heavy focus on improving proficiencies with Activities of Daily Living by reducing falls and improving perceptions of safety and confidence within one’s home.
