Providing assistance with critical repairs
Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity does some critical repairs for needy homeowners during periods when we are not fully active building a house. The repairs must be needed for health or safety reasons. A typical example is building a ramp or widening a doorway for a family when some member has to start using a wheelchair. This service is provided only when the family owns the house – not on rental property.
To qualify for this service, the family must be unable to afford to have modifications made by a professional repair person. Typically, the family provides all materials, and Habitat for Humanity is only asked to provide the labor. In some cases, a loan to cover the materials may be made in an amount not to exceed $1,000. In either case, the family must go through an application and review process. If you wish to pursue this type of assistance, please contact us by email or phone, and somebody will contact you.
Important Note
Since we are an all-volunteer organization, and do most work only on Saturdays, we do not take on emergency repairs. We cannot guarantee completion of the review process or the work (if approved) within a short period of time. If you need emergency repairs, please check with other agencies.

Non-Profit Partners
When Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity is not active building a house or doing small project repairs for needy homeowners, we often assist other non-profit organizations (that support the needy) in the Greater Nashua area with their repair projects. Some of the organizations we work with are the Nashua Soup Kitchen and Pastoral Care. If your organization would like to explore a partnership with us, please send us an email or contact us by phone.
