Critical Repairs Program
The Critical Repairs Program supports lower-income Central Albertan homeowners by repairing critical health & safety issues in their homes. By assisting homeowners with lower incomes to resolve serious structural, health and safety deficiencies, Habitat Red Deer enables families and individuals to remain safely housed while improving older housing assets.
​
Habitat Red Deer will complete the repairs, working alongside qualified local trade partners and companies. By providing critical repairs to homeowners, Habitat Red Deer is not just fixing immediate issues but also ensuring a positive future for Central Albertans. This program will extend the livability of existing homes, allowing more individuals and families to have a safe and decent place to live.
