Habitat Kent is currently not taking repair applications.

Habitat for Humanity of Kent County builds and preserves affordable housing. While our organization is best known for building new homes, we also partner with existing homeowners on essential home repair projects so they can continue living in safe, decent and affordable homes for many years to come.

At Habitat Kent we believe it is a basic human right that everyone has access to a safe, stable, and affordable home. We want to help you build a better life and create a strong future. Side by side we will help you make repairs to your home. We subsidize part of the cost of repair and then, whenever possible, work with you on an affordable payment plan for the remaining amount.
