Maintain and repair your home
Free home advice & low-interest loans
Helping homeowners maintain their properties is crucial to preventing more vacancies and abandonment in our neighborhoods. Our Home Preservation Initiative provides homeowners with the tools and resources they need to achieve this.
How it works
We understand that maintaining a home can be a challenging task. That’s why our Home Preservation Initiative is here to support you. We’re committed to providing you with the tools and resources needed to help preserve your home and create a thriving community together.
The Land Bank's help is available to homeowners in Lucas County who live in their home and who are current on property taxes. Our team does not make the repairs, but we offer you free and impartial advice about preserving your home's value and keeping your home safe and healthy.
The steps are simple:

- At your scheduled visit, our expert team will give you general guidance on the home issues that matter to you most.
