Friends regularly applies for housing rehabilitation grant programs; we currently have active grant programs producing work, which is bid out to our pool of contractors.

​

The majority of projects are owner-occupied housing rehabilitation, and are funded through various grant sources.

​

Minority and Women Owned businesses are encouraged to participate, as well as Section 3 contractors as defined by US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). All participating contractors are encouraged to hire low- and very-low income trainees for these projects.

 

Housing Rehabilitation work often includes: roofing, siding, replacement windows and doors, plumbing, electrical, foundation work, interior finish work, kitchens and bathrooms, accessible ramps, and more.

​

Projects that entail lead-based paint hazard reduction, are bid to contractors that are certified for such work.
