Step by step

How to use it, step by step

The steps to ask for the help, with what the program’s page says. What its page leaves unclear is below, in the questions.

See how to apply

  1. Ask first whether it is open

    Its page does not say whether it is open or still has funds. That is the first thing to ask.

  2. Find out who takes your application

    Check the official page for how to apply: with City of Dallas, Housing & Homelessness Division or with a local agency in your area. If you can’t find it, call City of Dallas, Housing & Homelessness Division and ask.

  3. Have your papers ready

    Ask which papers they need before your appointment, and keep a copy of everything you hand in.

  4. Check the quote before you sign

    If the program shows you a quote or asks you to sign a contract, read it calmly: what work it includes, who does it and when it ends.

Before you call

What to ask

Its page leaves 5 points unclear. Write them down for when you talk to City of Dallas, Housing & Homelessness Division.

What its page does not say

  • Is it open now, and does it still have funds?
  • What is the most it gives, and how is it calculated?
  • Which immigration status or residency documents do you ask for?
  • Do you accept an ITIN?
  • Do you have materials or staff in Spanish?

Worth asking for this kind of help

  • Which repairs does it cover, and which not?
  • Is there a waiting list where I live? How long is it?
  • Do I have to pay anything back if I sell the home or move?
  • Who does the work, and who checks it at the end?
