Funding for The Foundation is derived through community fundraising efforts, and internally.
An Application for Assistance must be completed by the person(s) owing the Property or someone acting on the owner(s) behalf. The completed Application, including all supporting documentation, will be reviewed by the Board and the request responded to within 30 days. The review process will only commence once all supporting documentation has been received. The Board has the discretion to determine the level of funding based on their review of the Application and documentation and may award up to the amount of $2,500.00 (Twenty five hundred dollars). All information will be kept strictly confidential and will not be shared outside of the Board or staff liaison who assists in coordination of payment benefits. An Applicant may make a subsequent request(s) for assistance. The Board has the discretion to determine whether additional assistance will be provided.
The Foundation has always, and continues to be, an equal access and equal opportunity corporation. The Foundation does not discriminate against any person(s) based on race, ethnicity, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, or sexual orientation.
The Foundation could not do what it does without the generous support of a caring community. Home repairs are costly and living in a community with severe weather leaves many residents vulnerable to damage. To continue to operate and serve, we need financial contributions from companies and individuals like yourself. Any amount that you can donate will go to helping homeowners in distress.
