This program aims to provide critical repair assistance to financially constrained homeowners, in the Village of Hempstead, contributing to the stabilization of the community and financial wellness of the family.

Funds have been made available through New York State Homes & Community Renewal.

These home improvements are designed to prolong the useful life of each home as well as increase the dwelling’s health, safety, and sustainability. Funding will be used to support critical repairs, including health and safety improvements, correction of code violations, accessibility modifications, environmental remediation, and more.

Funds are available based on need and the individualized requirements of each household that applies. The maximum amount that can be invested in a property is $40,000, though not every home will receive the maximum amount. CDLI attempts to assist as many households as funding will allow. For this program, we intend to serve approximately 110 households.

Typical repairs may include, but are not limited to:

• Heating System Replacements

• Electrical Service Upgrades

• Roof Replacements

• Siding

• Gutters

• Energy Efficiency Measures

• Windows & Doors

• Handrails, Stoops, Walkways

• Structural Corrections

• Health & Safety Measures

These improvements help Hempstead homeowners maintain safe, accessible homes whether addressing immediate repair needs or planning to age in place.
