We provide minor home repair services to families in need.

Our Preservation Repair Program provides minor home repairs to alleviate safety issues and restore the appearance of home exteriors. The Program works diligently alongside all Albuquerque homeowners, focusing on minor repairs that help improve quality of life and keep low-income homeowners safe. This program is intended for seniors, veterans, low-income families, and those with disabilities.

The average value of the repairs provided is approximately $3,000

*Please note that this is not an emergency repair program and that no repairs can be made until the homeowner has met the qualifications and has completed a homeowner’s agreement. In addition, there is a waiting period for repairs, and all repairs are subject to funding availability.
