The Austin Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC) is seeking proposals from non-profit organizations to provide home repair and roofing services to low- and moderate-income households with annual incomes at or below 80 percent of the Area Median Family Income (AMFI). AHFC has allocated $7 million for the G.O. Repair! Program: $7 million from the General Obligation Bonds approved by voters in November 2018. The G.O. Repair! Program seeks to eliminate health and safety hazards and improve accessibility for low- and moderate-income homeowners in Austin. It also encourages collaboration with other local programs to reduce waiting lists and to improve non-profits' capacity to provide home repair services. The program provides up to $20,000 of assistance per home per fiscal year. Eligible repairs include (but are not limited to) accessibility modifications and accommodations for the elderly and those with disabilities, lead abatement for homes built before 1978, and home rehabilitation that involves the replacement of major systems (e.g., plumbing, roofing, air conditioning, electrical, foundation, and other major interior and exterior repairs). Non-profit organizations applying for the funding should have experience in home repair. The contract term is estimated to begin January 1, 2022 and end on September 30, 2022, with the possibility of one 12-month extension.
