The Rural Housing Partnership (formerly Gloucester Housing Partnership) is accepting new clients in need of home repair in Gloucester, Mathews and King and Queen counties.
Those eligible for the home-repair program include people who are 60 years of older (with others on a case-by-case basis, as funding permits), people who own their home and have lived in it for 12 months prior to applying, and whose household income is at or below 100 percent of the federal poverty level.
All clients are screened in person for eligibility, said a press release, and must provide required documents to prove income and need. There is currently a 3-6 month waiting list for minor repairs and a 6-9 month waiting list for major repairs.
New clients should call 804-792-5079 or fill out an inquiry for assistance online at ruralhousingpartnership.org/need-help.
Volunteers are needed, as well, said the release. Call the office to volunteer.
