The City of Northfield is able to provide up to $2000 for repairs to roofs, windows, doors, heating systems and floor supports, among other things. These funds can also be used to pay down an insurance deductible or be combined with Weatherization funds from Energy Assistance. Contact the HRA office for more information and an application.
