community action homes
Community Action Homes partners with local municipalities to improve the quality of the affordable housing stock in the Lehigh Valley through a comprehensive housing revitalization strategy. This strategy includes the following tools: the acquisition of houses, rehabilitation of those houses for resale to eligible buyers, rehab of owner-occupied homes, and façade improvements. Our Housing Counseling program, Lehigh Valley Community Land Trust subsidiary, and Weatherization program are all part of Community Action Homes.
For general information, please call 610-849-7802.
For information on the Whole Home Repair Program, please call 484-821-2203.
Due to exceedingly high demand, Community Action is not currently taking new applications for our home repair programs as we serve our existing customers. Please check our website for updates on when applications will reopen. If you would like to advocate for continued funding for home repair programs throughout the state, please contact Make the Road PA or Pennsylvania Stands Up.
Thank you for your understanding.
