Westport Home Repair Grants 2026: Up to $21,000 Available Now

Westport homeowners can get up to $21,000 for repairs

If you own and live in your home in Westport, Massachusetts, you may be able to get up to $21,000 to fix important problems in your house.

This program is called CRE-HAB. It helps low- and moderate-income homeowners make safety and code repairs.

What the money can pay for

• Roof repairs or replacement
• Plumbing and electrical fixes
• Heating system upgrades
• Windows and siding
• Foundation and water-infiltration repairs
• Accessibility updates like wheelchair ramps

Who can apply

• You must own and live in the home (owner-occupied)
• The home must be in Westport
• The property must be assessed at $450,000 or less
• You must meet local income limits and other program rules

How the grant is paid back

The funding is issued as a deferred payment loan. That means no monthly payment. If you sell or transfer the home before 10 years, part of the loan may need to be repaid.

• Get an application packet from Westport Town Hall (816 Main Road, 2nd floor) or from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund website
• Submit your completed application and required documents
• For help, contact the Housing Assistance Office (open Wednesdays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.)
