Dos programas gratuitos de reparación de viviendas en Detroit aceptan solicitudes hasta el 22 de marzo

La reparación de viviendas es un problema costoso y persistente en la ciudad de Detroit, que a menudo afecta más a las personas mayores. En los últimos años, la ciudad ha utilizado fondos federales de la pandemia para avanzar en este tema, pero la demanda ha sido alta, los recursos son limitados y, en general, la “crisis de reparación de viviendas” no tiene una solución fácil ni única para todos.

La oferta de programas de reparación de viviendas en Detroit incluye Critical Home Repair y Detroit LeadSafe, ambos con cupo limitado, según publicaciones en los websites de la ciudad.

Esto es lo que debes saber:

ADVERTISEMENT

¿Qué son los dos programas de reparación de viviendas?

• Critical Home Repair: Este programa ofrece reparaciones gratuitas para propietarios que califican. Algunos ejemplos incluyen: problemas graves de plomería, techos con filtraciones, calefacción que no funciona, riesgos eléctricos y “reparaciones relacionadas con accesibilidad en baños y entradas/salidas del hogar”, según el website del programa. Se dará prioridad a las “reparaciones más urgentes” para los hogares seleccionados. El financiamiento es limitado y el programa podría no cubrir todas las reparaciones necesarias en una vivienda.

• Detroit LeadSafe: Este programa busca reducir la exposición a pintura con plomo en viviendas ubicadas en ciertos códigos postales donde viven niños o mujeres embarazadas. Según el website de la ciudad, el programa ofrece inspecciones gratuitas de plomo y reparaciones para eliminar riesgos relacionados con pintura con plomo en viviendas que califiquen. El Detroit Housing and Revitalization Department también puede ofrecer reparaciones de emergencia no relacionadas con plomo, dependiendo de la necesidad y los fondos disponibles, como un techo nuevo, porche, calefacción o calentador de agua.

¿Cuándo abre y cierra la solicitud?

Los residentes pueden aplicar a ambos programas con una sola solicitud a través del sistema Neighborly de la ciudad. La solicitud ya está abierta y cierra el domingo 22 de marzo a las 11:59 p.m.

¿Quién califica?

• Critical Home Repair: Para este programa, los solicitantes deben ser dueños y vivir en una casa en Detroit y estar al día con sus impuestos de propiedad (o inscritos en un plan de pago). No califican si ya han recibido anteriormente una subvención de la ciudad de Detroit. En la vivienda debe vivir un menor de 18 años, una persona mayor de 62 años o un residente con una discapacidad documentada. También deben cumplir con los requisitos de ingreso según los límites federales de 2025. Por ejemplo, el límite de ingreso para un hogar de tres personas es de $54,540.

• Detroit LeadSafe: Para este programa, los solicitantes deben ser dueños y vivir en una casa en Detroit y estar al día con sus impuestos de propiedad (o inscritos en un plan de pago). Las viviendas en los siguientes códigos postales califican: 48202, 48203, 48204, 48206, 48208, 48209, 48210, 48211, 48212, 48213, 48214, 48215, 48217, 48227, 48234 y 48238. No califican quienes ya hayan recibido una subvención de la ciudad de Detroit. Los propietarios que rentan también pueden aplicar. En la vivienda debe vivir o visitar regularmente (al menos 10 horas por semana) un niño menor de 6 años o una mujer embarazada. También deben cumplir con los requisitos de ingreso según los límites federales de 2025. El límite de ingreso para un hogar de tres personas en este programa es de $72,750.

¿Dónde puedo aplicar?

El formulario de pre-solicitud está disponible del 9 al 22 de marzo en el siguiente enlace:

¿Dónde puedo obtener más información?
