Critical Home Rehabilitation Program
HTCC's Critical Home Repair Rehabilitation
Program provides critical home repair
assistance to homeowners of in the City of
Montgomery for their principal residence.
The 24 CFR standards are used to determine
if immediate repair actions are necessary
due to conditions which pose an imminent
threat to the health and safety of the
occupants, or to the building structure.
Critical repairs under this program must
meet the following essential objectives:
Health:
Relieve imminent threats to the health of
occupants of the home.
Safety:
Remove imminent safety threats to the
household and/or its occupants.
Loss of Shelter:
Prevent the imminent total loss of shelter
due to deterioration, fire, or catastrophe
(where no alternate means of recovery or
resources exists).
Deterioration:
Block further deterioration of the home by
protecting and preserving its structural
integrity.
- exterior grade drainage deficiencies
- certain plumbing leaks
- other conditions that cause the improper
exposure of the house structure
and/or components to moisture
Applicants must have owned their home and
have lived in it as their primary residence
for the one year or more immediately prior
to being qualified for participation in the
Program. Persons who use their home to
conduct business or as rental property, in
whole or in part, are ineligible to
participate. If determined ineligible for
any reason, applicants may re-apply 6 months
after the determination of ineligibility.

housing rehabilitation programs are not
