As people age, so do many of their homes and the need for even minor home repairs can become a threat to the homeowner's health and safety. But often, due to financial limitations, these home repairs cannot be addressed and as a result, an older adult's safety may be compromised. A fall, injury or even just the threat of such an incident can affect an older person's ability to remain in his/her home.

The Minor Home Repair Program is the only program within the City of Billings that assists low-income seniors to address critical safety concerns in their homes. The Minor Home Repair Program assists seniors to remain in their homes as long as it is safe.

To qualify for the Minor Home Repair Program, you must:

• be 62 or older;
• own your home; and
• meet income eligibility criteria.
