Brush with Kindness Repair Program

​

Are you an existing homeowner in Coweta County in need of repairs for your home? If so, you may be eligible for assistance with Newnan-Coweta Habitat's Brush with Kindness Program. Please review the information below to determine your eligibility.

​

The Brush with Kindness Program is made possible due to grants received from local community foundations, businesses, corporations, and other funding entities. While the BWK program considers requests year-round, repairs must coincide with funding availability. Applicants posing a health or safety risk will be considered first. Complete home/bathroom remodels are excluded.
