Garland Home Repair Program


The Garland Home Repair Programs provide assistance to homeowners with major repairs through rehabilitation. The programs are intended to assist low and moderate-income homeowners who cannot afford to complete the repairs themselves. Funds are provided by the City's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and through a partnership with the Garland Housing Finance Corporation.
