We’re sorry we can’t help more people with the Whole-Home Repairs Program. However, there are some other options for assistance.

Home repairs

The City of Pittsburgh residents may apply for the Homeowner Assistance Program (HAP), which provides up to $35,000 in financial assistance. Applicants must own the property and have an income at or below 80% of Area Median Income (AMI).
