Vehicle Repair Grant Program

Vehicle Repair Grant Program

Reliable transportation helps households create stability and economic independence. The goal of this program is to reduce the cost burden for low-income households to maintain the safety and drivability of their vehicle and, as a result, ensure their financial stability.

Our Vehicle Repair Grant Program can help pay for repairs or maintenance that are required to maintain the safety and essential operation of your vehicle, so that you can have the safe and reliable transportation that is required to maintain employment and keep your household stable. We do this by offering a one-time grant that does not need to be repaid.
