Maricopa County’s Emergency Home Repair (EHR) program is a targeted initiative aimed at assisting vulnerable populations, including seniors, children aged six and under, and the disabled. The program was designed to address emergency home repairs that are not covered by other assistance programs, which could lead to significant health and safety concerns if left unaddressed. The EHR program provides critical support to those in need, ensuring that essential repairs are made in a timely and efficient manner. The program's outcomes include improving living conditions and reducing the risk of injuries or health hazards associated with unaddressed home repairs, thereby safeguarding the health and well-being of vulnerable individuals and families.
