Question : Home repair grants in Texas?
Does anyone know of any grant programs in Texas that will pay for home repair? I have a neighbor who lives on SSI and can’t possibly repay any kind of loan. She’s also 10 years too young to qualify for a reverse mortgage. I don’t think her house would qualify, either–the roof is leaking and the foundation is cracked. She also needs a lot of other work.
I’ve checked every website I can think of, including HUD, which only has programs for loans and rural homeowners. Does anyone have any other ideas? This lady really needs help!
I don’t know if she has a social worker or not but her disability is emotional, not physical. Thanks.

It just might be that you are looking in the wrong place for your answer. You have said that she is getting SSI. You don’t say why she is getting SSI. If she is getting SSI because of health and doesn’t qualify for DSS she has a Social worker assigned and may under several different programs have something available. My son was on SSI and had the bathroom completely made over to accommodate him.

Note; Ask her? But she does have a social worker, maybe be by another title called case worker
