Minor Home Repair Program
 The City of Novi Minor Home Repair program seeks
candidates for its upcoming service year. The program helps
qualified low-income homeowners in the city make needed repairs and
improvements to their residences. The program tackles priority
improvement projects including furnace repair; water heater, toilet,
or garbage disposal replacement; fixing porches, wiring, leaky
roofs; and removal of dangerous trees. Grants up to $5,000 are
possible. In addition to help with repairs, homeowners can apply for
weatherization assistance to help improve their home's energy
efficiency and year-round comfort, and lower utility bills.
Applicants must be 18, own their own residence or mobile home in
Novi, with total income at or below HUD Section 8 low-income
definitions based on family size. Novi's program is administered
through the Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency (OLHSA).
