Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation

Low-income residents who own their own home are often unable to set aside the resources to maintain it. This leads to cumulative disrepair that can affect the health and well-being of those dwelling within, the feel and vitality of the neighborhood, and the stock of potentially affordable homes available to future residents. To address this issue, the City of Flagstaff administers the Owner-Occupied Home Repair Program. This program is voluntary and available to owner-occupied households meeting the following eligibility requirements:

• Your home must be owned by you and be your primary residence
• Your home must be within the city limits of Flagstaff, or within the boundaries of Coconino County (excluding tribal lands)
• Your home must have health and safety hazards
• You must meet household income guidelines

LED Holiday Light Swap

The Flagstaff Sustainability Program partnered with HomCo Lumber and Hardware for 6 years to provide LED holiday lights to residents at reduced cost. As of 2014, the program was discontinued in order to fund other important community sustainability initiatives. View the 2013 LED Swap Final Report.

For future reference, Home Depot has an annual light exchange where customers can swap out incandescent holiday lights for discounted LED lights. Check in with Home Depot around the holiday season for more details on this program.
