Community Action Wayne/Medina Housing programs are for low-income homeowners and renters unless otherwise noted. Each program is based on funding availability and frequently has a waitlist. When possible, multiple programs are used in combination on a home in order to achieve the most cost savings and help the largest number of households in both counties. At no cost, households can receive help with energy efficiency, weatherization, and/or health and safety home repair.
