Applying for Critical Repairs

The full application process can take approximately 3 to 12 months.

    • Your home is a single-family, detached house. Limited repairs on townhomes and mobile homes. No condos or rental properties.

    • Applicant must own the home.

    • Homeowners insurance is preferred.

    • Your home resides in Williamson, Maury, Hickman, Lawrence, Lewis, Marshall, or Giles County.

    • Property taxes and mortgage payments on your home must be current.

    • Income must fall within our gross monthly income limits. See below for chart.

  • Eligibility Questionnaire

    All those interested in applying must first complete an eligibility questionnaire. To complete the questionnaire, please call our office at 615- 690-8090 or pick up an application at 109 Noah Drive, Franklin, TN 37064.

    If you are eligible, a full application will be sent by mail or email.

    Background Check

    We will perform background checks on all members of the household over the age of 16. We will also check to make sure that mortgage payments and taxes on the home are up to date.

    Home Visits

    We will schedule initial home visits with households meeting the requirements. The Critical Home Repair Committee will review the applications, and you will be notified of the committee’s decisions by mail. During the process, home visits will be made during the repair, at completion, and at the three months after the repair.

    Approval

    Once you are approved, you will be contacted to sign your participation contract and pay your one-time fee.

  • The cost will be determined based on the size and scope of repairs. All critical repair clients will be charged on a sliding scale of affordability. Habitat for Humanity Williamson-Maury pays at least 90% of the repair costs. If repair is less than $100, the charge will be waived.
