Home Repair for Low Income Individuals?

My dad has had his house for a while now. I moved out because it was falling apart. The bathroom, kitchen, and the floors and walls need serious help. Six of the windows need to be replaced because of termite damage. Termite damage is all though the house. Two doors also need to be replaced.

It would appear that your father's house may be condemned as not suitable/safe to live in.

You or he can apply to your local community agencies to get names of organizations that sometimes offer help/assistance to low income families but I do not believe you will find anyone who would attempt to do this much repair.

You do not mention what type of "low income" your father receives but it appears he may be receiving food stamps and be on Medicaid?

It will probably be suggested that your father move to more suitable/safe shelter but he may have to assign his "property" to the state if he needs special care.

Most people do not realize that the state can obtain property to help pay for expenses the state puts out for their care. This can appear as a lien on the property and some states can actually sell the property to retrieve their "output" funds (after the persons dies).
