Home Preservation Program

We offer home repair services to income qualifying homeowners in Washington and Orange County so they can continue to live in safe, decent homes for years to come. Some of our home repair work includes painting, landscaping, weatherization and minor repair services to preserve home exteriors and revitalize neighborhoods.

How does Home Preservation work?
  • Homeowners partner with CVHFH based on income, need and willingness to help.
  • We use volunteer labor and donated materials to keep costs low.
  • We work with partner organizations to complete the work for very little to no costs for the homeowner.
  • Payments are placed in a revolving fund to help Home Preservation serve others in need.
