Emergency Repair Program
PPL's
Emergency Repair Program serves disadvantaged, low-income homeowners.
Emergency Repair is a longstanding
program that assists people with essential repairs that would otherwise
threaten their homeownership. PPL arranges for the house repairs and pays
75% of the costs up to $500.
ER is solely funded through
the generosity of the Twin Cities' religious community.
