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.
