HomeFront, Inc

HomeFront, Inc. is a community-based, volunteer-driven home repair program providing free repairs to low-income homeowners. Its work helps residents remain in their homes while improving safety and quality of life. HomeFront serves Fairfield, Hartford, and New Haven counties in Connecticut, as well as Westchester County, New York.

Homeowners are considered based on need, the condition of the home, and whether volunteers can undertake priority repairs. According to HomeFront’s homeowner guidance, homes must be owner-occupied and the applicant’s only year-round residence. Applicants must also be current on property taxes or have an agreement to address them, and household income must meet the organization’s low-income standard.

HomeFront depends on financial donors, product and service donations, community volunteers, and building-trade professionals. Professionals interested in contributing can review the organization’s volunteer service information. Connecticut residents seeking broader housing support may also explore NHREA’s Connecticut resources and federal assistance resources.
