Repair Program

Repair Program

Troy Community LandBank has been awarded $500,000 from NYS Homes and Community Renewal. Once funds are exhausted the program will be complete until another grant is secured. 

The Troy Community Land Bank Repair Program helps eligible homeowners address critical repairs that keep their homes safe, stable, and livable.

Funding focuses on projects that correct safety issues, resolve code violations, and repair major building systems.

What the Program Covers

We prioritize repairs that protect the structure and long term condition of the home:

  • Roof repairs and replacements
  • Structural and foundation repairs
  • Heating systems and major utilities
  • Code violations and life safety issues
  • Exterior repairs tied to safety and accessibility

This program does not fund cosmetic improvements.
