Which Program Is Right for Me?
The appropriate program depends on the type of repair your home needs.
Home Preservation generally focuses on smaller repairs, exterior maintenance, accessibility improvements, and projects that address minor safety concerns.
Critical Systems Replacement focuses on larger repairs or replacements involving essential systems within the home.
Greater Albuquerque Habitat for Humanity will review each homeowner’s needs and qualifications to determine what assistance may be available.
Important Program Information
