Each program sets its own contractor rules. Check the official program page for exact requirements.

  • Proof you own and live in the home (deed, recent mortgage statement, or property tax bill).

  • A written estimate from a licensed contractor for the work (many programs require this to apply).
  • Photos of the problem area or the work to be done.
  • The program's own application form, completed (use the official link or phone number on this page).
