Upper Cumberland Habitat for Humanity set to accept applications to its Critical Repair Program, which helps low-income homeowners address essential repairs. Executive Director Jeremy Byrd said the program focuses on homeowners on fixed incomes who cannot afford major repairs. A major goal of the program is helping residents remain in their homes as housing demand increases across the region. “We have seen quite a few people who have been able to take advantage of this program,” Byrd said. “We’re looking for necessary projects that will keep someone in that home, not cosmetic repairs.”Applications for the Critical Repair Program will be accepted from February 2 through February 13.
