Need a Repair?
General Info
CHS is a nonprofit organization that provides home repairs for income-qualified, 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.
For more detailed information about our program, please reference the CHS Home Repair Assistance Policy.
Greensboro homeowners that meet North Carolina Housing Finance Agency requirements may be eligible for Urgent Repair Program 2026 funding. Read more about that program here.
