How to Apply for Home Repairs

Attending an application workshop is the only way to submit an application to the home repair program. If you are physically unable to attend these workshops, call 312-563-0296 x15 for more information.

You do not have to be "pre-qualified" to apply to the ABWK program. Habitat for Humanity Chicago does not have a pre-application process, nor is there any way in which you can be pre-approved. No money is required for our application process, so if someone tries to charge you for application services, you should not pay. The only way to apply for our program is to attend a free application workshop, as listed below. Call our office with questions or concerns.
