Home Repair Program – Aiken County Habitat for Humanity

Home Repair Program

Home Repair Program

Applications will be made available beginning May 1, 2026 and may be picked up at our administrative office located at 1026 Park Ave, SE Aiken, SC 29801 between the hours of 10AM and 3PM.

The ACHFH Home Repair program helps low-income homeowners who struggle to maintain their homes due to limitations related to income, age, disability, or other circumstances. Through the home repair program, homeowners are able to work side-by-side with Aiken County Habitat for Humanity staff and volunteers to repair their home with pride and dignity.  The program brings together volunteers who put their values to work helping homeowners in need. The end result is homes that are safe and maintained, homeowners who are able to continue to occupy their homes, and renewed neighborhoods.
