Eligible Scituate homeowners may apply for financial help with qualifying small repairs, subject to income and property requirements. The program has a $25,000 annual budget and typically cannot assist every applicant; the Trust said about 25 people apply each year and roughly 10 receive grants. The Trust also plans to explore referrals and fundraising with Habitat for Humanity’s Critical Home Repair program, which assists eligible seniors and veterans with safety-related home repairs at no repayment cost.
