The Habitat for Humanity of Hillsborough County Home Preservation program provides exterior home repairs and landscaping to income eligible homeowners throughout Hillsborough County.

Home Preservation is more than a simple fix and paint program. It brings people together to accomplish something special – to partner with homeowners and create and enhance community relationships. We use volunteers and donated materials to make repairs, helping low-income homeowners continue to live independently and securely in their homes.  Homeowners, in accordance with income eligibility, repay certain costs.  These payments, combined with community contributions, supply the Home Preservation fund and allow us to continue to serve additional homeowners.

If you currently own a home that needs minor repairs and exterior enhancement, you may be eligible for the Home Preservation program. We offer this program to qualified homeowners in Hillsborough County who are willing to partner with us, through sweat equity, to improve their home’s exterior presentation and durability.  Eligible repairs include pressure washing, scraping, caulking, painting, minor soffit/fascia repair, yard clean-up, additional landscaping, porch repairs and accessible ramps. Through the support of our generous partners and volunteers, we are able to provide these materials and services at a fraction of the cost to the homeowner.
