Title blurb about the story, can make purple to highlight things​ ​ (this is just the history text as a placeholder for the story) (can add images anywhere) For 40 years, residents of central Virginia have had help with their housing needs – first by the individual operations of the Fluvanna Housing Foundation and the Louisa Housing Foundation – then in 2003 by the merger of the two into the Fluvanna-Louisa Housing Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. ​ Here are just a few of the ways we have ensured warm, safe and dry housing for the families in our communities. In the 1980’s, many families in our area had no plumbing or running water. The Fluvanna and Louisa Housing Foundations made sure these critical needs were addressed. During the drought of 2002, when wells ran dry, we helped families dig or drill new wells. When wind and rain from Hurricane Isabel hit the East Coast, families turned to us for help restoring roofs that had been destroyed. After a massive snowstorm of 2008 damaged a number of homes, we responded with financial assistance and volunteers to do the repairs. When the destructive 2011 earthquake destroyed homes in central Virginia, we distributed federal funds for rebuilding. In 2020, when Covid-19 challenged the economic and housing stability of the community, we expanded our services and outreach. Today, under the leadership of Executive Director Kim Hyland, the Foundation has a renewed dedication to strengthening trust with the community by providing services with compassion, honesty, and simplicity. ​ ​

Essential Home Repair Program The FLHF Essential Home Repair Program can help you make critical repairs to your home. We assist with repairs for the following: Click here to apply Roof replacement Heating and cooling system Plumbing Electrical systems Well repair Septic system repair Hot water heater ​ We may also be able to help with other types of home repairs. We work with residents to obtain grant funds to help cover the cost of major home repairs. Typically, the grant does not cover the full cost of the repair, so FLHF provides zero-interest loans and reasonable repayment terms. Below is one example of how a loan might work: ​ Total cost of repair: $6,000 Grant funds: $3,000 Homeowner down payment: $500 Homeowner loan: $2,500 Balance paid in $100 monthly installments over 25 months with 0% interest. ​ How can we do this? As other people with loans pay back their home repair, we recycle the funds back into the community. Your repair is possible due to someone else paying back their loan. When you repay your loan, you will help someone else afford their home repair. Click here if you live in Fluvanna County Click here if you live in Louisa County Follow these steps: ​ 1.
