The Home Rehabilitation Grant Program (HRGP) provides funding to assist individuals with home-repair improvements that address health, safety and durability issues in homes in rural areas.
Who qualifies for a home repair grant?
Grants are available to low-income homeowners who reside in eligible rural areas of Washington state. Interested households must apply and qualify for the program through one of the participating rehabilitation agencies listed below. Priority is given to seniors, disabled residents, families with children under five years old, and veterans.
Who qualifies as a low-income homeowner?
There are three ways to determine income eligibility. You may qualify under any of the following income brackets per household. To qualify, the household’s income must be at or below the following:
- 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (FLP)
- 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI)
- 60% of the State Median Income (SMI)
To determine income eligibility, the annual gross household income includes:
- Earned income (income from any household member 18 years of age or older).
- Income from other sources (DSHS, SSI, SSD, VA, unemployment or self-employment).
- Passive income (investments, stocks, rental properties, rent for tenants not part of the household).
For more information related to income eligibility please contact one of the Commerce-approved agencies listed under the “Who can I contact for program information” section.
What is an eligible rural area location?
To determine if your address qualifies as an eligible residence, please get in touch with any of the approved rehabilitation agencies and ask whether your address qualifies as an eligible rural residence.
What types of home repairs qualify for this program?
- Eligible repairs include:
- Improvements to ensure healthy living conditions for the occupants

Who can I contact for program information?
You can contact one of the Commerce-approved rehabilitation agencies located throughout the state. Commerce has contracted with several organizations to administer the program and works with licensed contractors to provide home repair services. A Commerce-approved agency can assist you with the application process.
Commerce-approved agencies may be unable to provide complete services outside their service areas, and they will be accessible for information only.
