Lower-income homeowners face an estimated $57 billion backlog in critical home repairs.

Homes in disrepair can pose significant health and safety risks and exacerbate racial and economic disparities.

However, relatively low-cost repairs and improvements can save aging homes, reduce energy bills, improve respiratory health, allow longtime community members to age in place safely, and preserve generational wealth.

In the last several years, more state and local programs and federal policy interest have been directed to helping lower-income families make needed home repairs. This half-day virtual symposium will bring together industry players, thought leaders, researchers, and advocates to highlight innovative programs and policies and explore opportunities for scaling successful approaches.
