Ohio has over 224 home improvement grants and resources available to homeowner families and individuals. This article provides you with all the main home repair programs offered throughout the state.
We understand big home repairs are a financial challenge. In Ohio, our Homeowner Repair Survey found a third of homeowners have to postpone them, and almost half delay repairs for financial reasons:
- 33% of Ohio homeowners have to delay repairs.
- 48% of those homeowners postpone repairs for financial reasons.
So you’re not alone looking for home repair funding. The official programs below will help you find those funds for your home.
