Apply to receive assistance through one of our programs.
Our Programs
What's The Process?
Our application process includes three steps before we’re able to start repairs.
1) Submit an Application – this information will support us in determining if you qualify for one of our existing programs. The criteria changes year to year, so it’s important to include as much information as you can.
2) Applicant Interview – once your application is received, it is reviewed by staff who will be in touch for more details including completing all documentation required for the program.Â
3) Site Visit – once your interview is complete and documents are received, we’ll set up a time to visit your home to assess the kind of repairs we can offer, and begin to draft a timeline for repair.
Provided all goes well, these three steps can take up to six months to complete. Work typically takes another six months to be set with contractors, volunteers, and to pull appropriate permits. Unfortunately, we are unable to support emergency repairs at this time.Â
Do I Qualify?
To qualify for services you must own your own home, and meet income requirements. Typically this means you earn at or below 50% of Area Median Income (AMI) for your household size and county.
Area Median (middle) Income is the annual household income for a specific location and household size. It is the middle income so 50% of people would earn more than, and 50% earn less than this number. Published by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) each year, AMI is a key factor in determining eligibility for affordable housing programs. Our programs typically serve at or below 50% of AMI for your county and household size.
Example
The Jones’ live in Home County and have 2 people in their household. Home County’s AMI is $100,000 and their 50% AMI limit is $52,500. Together, the Jones’ earn about $42,000 a year so they would qualify for services.
Using the Chart
Below you can use the drop down to see the current limits for our 13 most commonly served counties for 1 person, 2 person, or 4 person household to help guide you.
- Include all residents of the home who live there at least half the time. This should include children and those who are not working.
- Include all income sources such as Social Security/Disability payments, wages, and any other income earned by anyone in the home.
If you are unsure if your household income qualifies, or if your county isn’t listed, we recommend completing an application so staff can review your circumstances.

Please note that it is our goal to support as many people in need of services as possible. Our ability to provide services is dependent on funding. We are unable to provide emergency repairs, and there are repairs that we are unable to complete due to funding, available labor, and complexity of the project.
If you have questions or would like an application mailed to you, please email us at homeowners@rtmn.org or call us at 651-776-4273.
