Home Repair Services and Programs

Cold Weather Application Campaign starting October 1, 2026.

Program Update:

At this time, the City Home Repair program will not be accepting new applications for the 2026 program year, and will not be opening applications during the normal May application period. This decision does not come lightly, as we are committed to serving our constituents and Kansas City neighborhoods. Due to the high volume of applications received during the 2025 program year, City Home Repair will continue working through an extensive waitlist and existing queue of eligible applicants. For those who received a letter of eligibility during the 2025 program year, but have not yet received home repair services, please feel free to contact City Home Repair at 816-513-3025 with any questions you may have.

Due to this delay, City Home Repair anticipates opening a Cold Weather Application Campaign starting October 1, 2026. This application period will focus on constituents in need of furnace replacements during the cold weather season. Please check our website throughout the upcoming months for updated information.

The City Home Repair program is not accepting new paint applications for the 2026 program year and will not open during the usual May application period.
