In July of 2022, The PA Whole Home Repairs bill, (SB-1135), was signed into law. The bill appropriates $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.
Delaware County Council unanimously approved the use of an additional $2,730,124 in funding from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) on August 2, 2023, to support the program. The County’s commitment enables the program to serve a minimum of 120 homeowners and ensures the administration costs associated with the program are met.
Habitat MontDelco Veteran Repair program is a construction-based resource aimed at identifying and addressing health and safety related repairs to the homes of qualified families in Montgomery and Delaware Counties.

Habitat MontDelco’s Adaptive Living Initiatives (ALI) program is a comprehensive accessible home modification resource available across Montgomery and Delaware Counties, PA. Its aim is 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) that work directly with clients, (and caregivers, if applicable) to determine mobility challenges, goals, and accessible solutions to be addressed by Habitat. After nearly 10 years of providing a range of critical home repair services, it has become clear to Habitat MontDelco that a program focused on the intersections between health and housing was a vast need for older adults who want to age in place, as well as persons living with disabilities. This ALI program rises to that occasion with a heavy focus on improving proficiencies with Activities of Daily Living as well as reducing falls and improving perceptions of safety and confidence within one’s home.
