Home Repair

Since 2002 RADC has invested over $3 million into homeowner improvement projects in the Near Eastside, serving over 230 families. Repairs completed include roofs, gutters, windows, furnaces, plumbing, electrical, flooring, sewers, masonry, and siding.

82% of the families RADC served had incomes at or below 50% of the area median income as determined by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Elderly and single female households were the most common served. The need can be overwhelming; in some cases the amount of the work ($10,000 average) may exceed the household’s annual income.

Funding for the repairs is provided by:

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program of the City of Indianapolis
Health and Hospital
Neighborhood Impact Program (NIP) of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (FHLBI), partner Old National Bank
Rebuilding Together
