Home Repair
If you meet federal income guidelines, own and occupy your home, be current on property taxes, and live within SEND's geographic boundaries, you may be eligible for assistance through SEND's home repair programs.
SEND’s Home Repair program is made possible through federal funds utilized through the Community Development Block Grants, partnerships with other not-for-profits like Rebuilding Together Indianapolis, and generous contributions from our neighbors and supporters
SEND has been a proud recipient of Federal Community Development Block Grant funds for over 25 years. The City of Indianapolis grants these funds to SEND so that we can help income-Qualified homeowners by making crucial repairs to their homes. This ensures that neighbors can continue to live in homes that are decent, safe, and sanitary. This has a wider effect of helping create equitable housing and healthy neighborhoods with a mix of incomes, ages, and accessibility.
