Critical Home Repair
Applications are Open Now and Close September 29th at Noon!
In an effort to serve more families, Habitat for Humanity of Horry County launched a Maintenance and Repair branch of programming in 2022. Since the program’s inception, Habitat has served 98 families, mobilized 70 volunteers, and invested $125,000 into crucial repairs that restore and preserve affordable housing.
Currently our Critical Home Repair program is limited in geographic scope; however, our goal is to gradually expand the program county wide.
Through the Program, we offer home repair services to homeowners so they can continue to live in safe, decent homes for years to come. Our home repair work includes minor repair services to preserve home exteriors and revitalize neighborhoods.
Currently, home repair is available to homeowners who are Military Veterans within Horry County, SC or residents of Booker T. Washington and Racepath communities of Horry County, SC.
