Senior Minor Home Rehabilitation Program

The Senior MHRP (Minor Home Repair Program) is designed to assist eligible senior homeowners with needed repairs that improve health, safety, and accessibility. The program guidelines outline eligibility requirements, income limits, and the types of improvements that may qualify for assistance.

Submitting a Pre-Qualification Form allows staff to determine your eligibility for assistance. While submission does not guarantee funding, it is the first step in the review process. Completed forms may be emailed to khuang@sierramadreca.gov or delivered in person to the Planning and Community Preservation Department at City Hall (open Monday–Thursday, 7:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m.). For questions about eligibility or program requirements, residents are encouraged to contact the Department for assistance.
