The City of Canton and CBP have partnered to create a program to assist low-to-moderate income homeowners who have code violations on the outside of their homes but are unable to afford the necessary repairs. The Code Enforcement Repair Program is available to income-eligible homeowners in the City of Canton who have received code violation notices for minor items. The goal of this program is to help residents correct violation to bring their homes into compliance with the City’s building codes, ensuring the safety, health, and livability of their homes. It is not intended to cover the cost of full replacements or major renovations.
