The Whole Home Repairs Program with Senator Nikil Saval

Join DAG for a presentation on the Whole-Home Repairs Program, which was introduced by Pennsylvania State Senator Nikil Saval in March 2022 as Senate Bill 1135 and signed into law in July 2022 with an unprecedented $125-million appropriation in the state budget.
Pennsylvania has some of the oldest housing stock in the nation. Hundreds of thousands of homes across the Commonwealth have moderate to severe physical inadequacies, including leaky roofs or windows, blown fuses or exposed wiring, unreliable heat, or the lack of a flushing toilet. As people struggle to simply hold on to their homes, they may be forced to forgo regular maintenance and small repairs and upgrades, deferring until a repair is more urgently needed, and far more expensive.
The Whole-Home Repairs Program establishes a one-stop shop for home repairs and weatherization while building out our local workforce and adding new family-sustaining jobs in a growing field. This program is the first of its kind in the nation, making it so that Pennsylvanians can stay warm, safe, and dry in homes they can afford.
