What would disqualify me from having Good Neighbors work on my home?

The foremost of these include not qualifying as low-income, being out of our work area, and not being current with mortgage or taxes. To learn whether you are eligible for Good Neighbors to do home repair, please go to this page.

How does Good Neighbors’ Application Process work?

The Good Neighbor’s Application Process begins when we receive your initial inquiry by filling out our on-line form or contacting us by phone. After speaking with you, we will send you a Pre-Application to fill out and mail back to us using an envelope and stamp we provide. When we receive your envelope with the Pre-Application filled out, we will schedule a Project Manager to come and assess your home repair requests. If Good Neighbors is able to complete the work, we will schedule another time to visit with you and complete the full Homeowner Application. Once this application is finished and we learn whether you are eligible, a Project Manager will be assigned to your home. This Project Manager will track the project and its progress. You will be notified when the project is complete.

What documents do I need to have before meeting with the Applications Coordinator?

If you have already completed our Pre-Application Form, our Project Manager will come to your home to inspect the scope of home repair you are requesting. If this is a repair that Good Neighbors can accomplish, then our Applications Coordinator will schedule a time to meet you to complete the Homeowner Application. For the Homeowner Application, you will need the following documents:
