Emergency Home Repairs

Easy application

Need you to file taxes and apply separately

The Emergency Home Repairs Program offers up to $12,000 in financial assistance to help homeowners with low incomes complete emergency repairs to make their homes safe.

Important:

  • You cannot get this help if you do the repairs before you get written approval from Saskatchewan Housing Corporation
  • The homeowner is responsible for all costs greater than the approved amount.
  • Once approval is granted, work must be completed within three months.

Homeowners are eligible if you:

  • Own the property to be repaired and occupy it as your primary residence.
  • Need an urgent repair to your property (for example, your furnace breaks during the winter and you need to replace it right away).
  • Have an annual household income and household assets at or below the limits established by Saskatchewan Housing Corporation.

Documents listed in this section are examples of what can be included with your application. Please review the application instructions (How to Apply tab) to confirm the supplemental and required documents for this benefit.
