Your application paperwork

Texas does not take applications from homeowners directly for HOME funds. The state gives the money to local governments, public housing authorities, and nonprofits, and those local administrators run the actual home repair and reconstruction application for income-eligible owners in their service area.

Steps to apply

  1. Confirm you qualify: you own and live in the home and your household income is at or below 80 percent of the area median family income.
  2. Go to the TDHCA Help for Texans page and choose the Home Repair / Accessibility Modifications category, then enter your city or county.
  3. Contact a local administrator (city, county, public housing authority, or nonprofit) returned by the search to ask if HOME or Homeowner Reconstruction Assistance funds are available in your area.
  4. Complete that local administrator's intake application and provide their requested documents.
  5. Wait for the administrator to determine eligibility, scope the repair or reconstruction work, and set up the funding.
