How to apply for City of Denton Minor Home Repair Program (Denton County) in Texas
City of Denton Community Development, 601 E Hickory St, Suite 115, Denton
Who it's for
The City of Denton helps low- and moderate-income homeowners inside Denton city limits pay for urgent home repairs. Eligible repairs make a home safe, sanitary, livable or accessible: broken plumbing fixtures and sewer lines, unsafe wiring, leaking roofs, broken heating and cooling, and changes such as a wheelchair ramp or wider doorways for a person with a disability. Repairs of up to $24,500 may be covered. The help is a grant: it does not need to be paid back, and no lien is placed on the home. Apply on paper or online, or call Community Development at 940-349-7726.
Only for owner-occupied homes inside Denton city limits. Household income must be under the HUD limit for your household size (the city's posted table lists $65,700 for one person). Cosmetic work, foundation repair and mold removal are not covered, and repairs over $24,500 are not eligible. City staff inspect the home and decide which repairs qualify.
People who qualify for one senior program often qualify for others. See everything you may qualify for — free, no SSN, about five minutes.
