South Bend Home Repair programs empower residents to Mend the Bend! These programs provide opportunities for City of South Bend residents to improve their quality of life and place with stronger neighborhoods and more comfortable homes.

South Bend Home Repair ­can currently help with nonemergency needs ranging from $150-$500 per home. We can help with:

Small home repairs (examples: broken doorbells, poorly sealed windows, dripping faucets)

Community clean ups

Referrals for environmental home health hazards (mold, lead, radon)

The application cycle for major home repairs (roofs, electrical, HVAC, etc.) is expected to open late summer 2019.
