Since 1993, the program has awarded over $7.3 million in grants, matched by another $43.7 million in funding, helping more than 8,200 families. Community groups—like those in Dickinson, Minot, Devils Lake, and Grand Forks—receive funds to carry out repairs, requiring them to contribute at least 25% of costs. If you’re earning 80% or less of your county’s median income and need help with home repairs, contact one of these local organizations—they’re ready to help.
