Home Repair Assistance

Qalipu First Nation (QFN) Housing Division is pleased to announce the launch of the Home Repair Assistance Program (HRAP). This program will provide financial assistance up to $5,000.00 for eligible applicants residing in Newfoundland & Labrador.

This program will support housing repairs to increase functionality, sustainability, and longevity of homes, that will ensure a safe and sound standard of living specific to members and their needs. While funding is limited, the collection of data and the need for similar programs will be thoroughly assessed during this process.

Applicants MUST submit all required documentation by September 30th, 2024.

It is strongly recommended that applicants and/or co-applicants review the application in its entirety to ensure that all required documentation is included prior to submission. Please note, if all required documentation is not provided, the application may not be reviewed or processed.

To be eligible for funding, the home repair MUST fall into one of the following categories:

  • Emergency repairs that, if not completed, will force the homeowner to leave their home
  • Roofing
  • Oil Tank Replacement
  • Windows and doors

Requirement of combined annual household net income must be below $49,039.00, based on Government definition of “Low Income Taxable Reduction – LITR”

Please note that program funding is limited, and applications will not be processed until the submission window has closed.  Due to the anticipated high volume of applications, not all applicants will be approved, and only those receiving funding will be contacted.
