Building on the success and strong interest in our 2024 Home Repair Peer Network, the Housing Solutions Lab is pleased to announce a second cohort for cities. This is a great opportunity for cities to refine and strengthen municipal home repair programs and build relationships with other localities from around the country.
Up to seven cities will be invited to participate in the 2025 Home Repair Peer Network, which will include facilitated peer learning exercises, action planning, and informative presentations from Lab staff and subject matter experts.
Participants will explore strategies to overcome challenges related to funding home repairs. They will also focus on how to target and prioritize programs, improve coordination among programs and stakeholders, and develop approaches to advance equity.
