The Minor Home Repair Program was developed in response to the City Council's implementation of Blue Springs' first Property Maintenance Code.
The MHRP was designed with the desire to offer a program to primarily assist homeowners who do not have the financial means to respond to code violations that may exist at their single-family, residential property.
Program Focus
The emphasis of this program is on neighborhood conservation, and only minor exterior home repairs will be eligible. The program will encourage a high level of maintenance among property owners in a neighborhood by providing a grant to help cure the most visible home defects which may adversely affect the value of the home as well as surrounding properties.
Application & Funding Information
The City is accepting applications for the Minor Home Repair Program through June 30, 2027, or until funds have been depleted, whichever comes first.
