The Program

The goal of the Kalamazoo Neighborhood Housing Services rehab and repair loan is to provide funding for the maintenance of homes to ensure safe and livable conditions for low-income and underserved homeowners in the Kalamazoo community.

The program allows homeowners to finance home repairs at an affordable rate.

Construction Management

Our team can evaluate your needs and provide solutions for critical repairs. We may also be able to provide assistance in financing home repairs.  Some of the services we provide include:

  • Property inspections
  • Written assessments of needed repairs
  • Management of the bidding process
  • Referrals to qualified licensed and bonded contractors.
  • Monitoring the project from beginning to end

Eligible Repairs

Each applicant’s individual home repair project is reviewed and approved on a case-by-case basis. But here are some examples of common repairs:

  • Roof replacement
  • Plumbing, heating, cooling, and electrical systems
  • Accessibility updates
  • Siding and windows
  • Eliminate health or safety hazards
