Clarksville, TN – For many homeowners, issues like a leaking roof, unsafe wiring, or a broken air conditioning unit aren’t just inconvenient, they can make a home unsafe or unlivable.
This spring and summer, the City of Clarksville’s Neighborhood and Community Services Department (CNCS) is reminding residents that help is available through its Home Repair Program, which provides no-cost assistance for most critical home repairs.
As temperatures rise and seasonal storms pass through the region, small maintenance issues can quickly turn into major problems. The Home Repair Program is designed to help low-to-moderate-income homeowners address these concerns early, which protects both their homes and their health.
Eligible repairs may include:
-
Repairing or replacing broken air conditioning units to keep homes cool during extreme heat
-
Fixing leaking roofs or storm-related damage
-
Addressing plumbing issues such as leaking pipes or water damage
-
Correcting unsafe electrical conditions or outdated wiring
-
Replacing damaged windows and doors to improve energy efficiency and security
-
Repairing flooring that creates tripping hazards
-
Making structural repairs to ensure the home is safe and stable
-
Installing accessibility features like ramps or grab bars for seniors or individuals with disabilities
“No one should have to live in unsafe conditions simply because they can’t afford necessary repairs,” said LaVon Bracey, Program Manager for the City of Clarksville Neighborhood and Community Services Department. “This program is about protecting families, preserving homes, and strengthening our community… especially during seasons when homes are under the most stress.”
To qualify, applicants must meet income eligibility requirements, reside within Clarksville city limits, and be current on their property taxes.
The application process is simple, and staff are available to assist residents every step of the way. Residents are encouraged to apply now to take advantage of spring and summer repair opportunities before funding is exhausted.
