Need a Repair?
General Info
CHS is a nonprofit organization that provides home repairs for low-income, Guilford County families who are owner-occupants of their homes. CHS’s Home Repair program is a discounted program, NOT a free home repair program. In most cases, homeowners are responsible for paying a percentage of the discounted repair costs. Working with us is easy! The CHS Program Specialist and our construction team will work with you to see if you qualify for our programs and assess your home.
What makes a property and a home owner eligible?
To be eligible, properties must:
- Be located within Guilford County.
- Have all property taxes paid in full and current.
- Have a clean title and be owner-occupied at both the time of application and throughout the repair process.
- Have a property tax value (building plus land) of $180,000 or less.
- Not be in danger of a foreclosure process.
- Have repair needs not exceeding $25,000 in estimated costs.
To be eligible, applicants must:
- Own and occupy the home and property as their primary residence for at least five years.
- Not have received a home repair though CHS’ programs in the last 36 months and not have exceeded CHS’ repair program limits in the past.
- Have limited means to accomplish the repairs on their own.
- Have a total household income which does not exceed 80% of the current Guilford County Area Median Income (AMI) for household size as determined by Housing and Urban Development (HUD) (see 2025 income limits and determination of income on the right-hand side).
- Not own any other properties.
