General Information
Service Description: 

The objective of the Repair Services of Avenue’s Housing Recovery Program is to provide the primary residents with a safe, water tight and healthy home that can provide for the daily needs of life (eating, bathing, and sleeping) and will shorten the timeline for their return home from temporary housing. The Repair Services are limited to houses affected by Hurricane Harvey (water or wind damage). The Limited Scope of Repair Services that follows outlines the limitations of the repair work that Avenue will complete. Additional work to the home will likely be required after Avenue completes the Limited Scope of Repair. Additionally, it is recognized that every home and every resident’s experiences are unique. Hence, flexibility in individual cases may be required and may be constrained by resources.
