HOME REPAIR PROGRAM
The Housing Partnership is a non-profit community development organization that assists low/moderate income households with funds to make needed repairs to their home. The Home Repair Program has a limited service area and is ONLY available to low and moderate income homeowners in Lemay, Affton and Mehlville.
THP provides funds for quality, professional home repairs to low/moderate income homeowners who cannot afford necessary improvements needed to increase the health and safety of their home. Our goal is to help Lemay, Affton and Mehlville residents remain in their homes for as long as possible.
Lemay, Affton and Mehlville homeowners in need of assistance are encouraged to apply. Please note that if you are a homeowner who has previously participated in the home repair program of The Housing Partnership /Lemay Housing Partnership within the past 10 years, you are NOT eligible to participate in this current round of funding.
If you live in Lemay, Affton or Mehlville, please call the Housing Partnership at 314-631-9905 to get on the waiting list for this program.
