Help with repairs your home needs
Connect Longview matches volunteer groups with Longview homeowners who need property repairs they cannot manage on their own, because of a physical or financial hardship.
Who qualifies
To qualify, you must own and live in the home as your primary residence, and your property taxes and mortgage must be current. Household income must fall at or below the poverty line. Because Connect Longview has more requests than it can take on at once, priority goes to seniors, people with disabilities, veterans, single parents, and homes with safety hazards.
What we can help with
Property maintenance and repairs that affect a home's safety and code compliance, such as roofing, plumbing, electrical issues, and accessibility needs like ramps and handrails.
If a request is more than our volunteers can take on, we will tell you and point you to other local help where we can.
How to apply
There is no online application. To apply, download the printable Request for Assistance application, fill it out by hand, and return it by mail, email, or in person. Or call or email us and we will walk you through it.
Before and after
What we ask of homeowners
We ask that you own and live in the home, and that your property taxes and mortgage are current.
- You or an adult family member are home the whole time volunteers are working.
- Clear the work area of personal items before the crew arrives and keep pets secured.
- Volunteers give their time. Work is not guaranteed or warrantied, and a committee decides eligibility; we may refer you to another agency that can help.
