Irving Resident Home Rehabilitation Program
The City of Irving's Home Rehabilitation Program provides low- to moderate-income families with assistance in repairing their homes. The Department of Housing and Urban Development funds the program, which strives to give Irving residents access to safe and suitable housing.
The program provides a range of services, including plumbing, electrical, roofing and HVAC to assist homeowners with various problems. Modifications offered by the program may also increase accessibility for people with impairments. Additionally, the program may provide repair assistance up to $60,000.
Homeowners must meet certain income standards and reside within the City of Irving in order to be eligible for the program. Additionally, applicants will need to submit supporting evidence, including proof of ownership, insurance and income.

Mosquitoes are most active from April through October. Residents are encouraged to take precautions every time they go outside during mosquito season. Just follow the Four D’s.
DEET: Mosquito repellents that contain DEET are known to be the most effective at preventing mosquito bites.
DRAIN: Eliminate standing water around the house. If it can’t be drained, treat the water.
DRESS: Cover skin while outdoors and wear light colored clothing.
