SUGAR LAND, Texas – Sugar Land is expanding its Great Homes incentive program, aiming to make exterior home repairs more affordable for residents who face the biggest barriers to reinvestment.
City leaders say the changes are designed to help homeowners with aging properties keep their homes safe, functional, and visually appealing while preserving the character of established neighborhoods.
Starting January 1, 2026, homeowners whose properties fall within the bottom three percent of single-family home values in Sugar Land will qualify for up to 50 percent reimbursement on eligible exterior home improvement projects.
What is the Great Homes program?
The Great Homes program offers reimbursement grants for approved exterior home improvements. Since launching in February 2023, the program has supported:
- 300+ home improvement projects
- More than $5.3 million invested in home upgrades
- Over $790,000 reimbursed to homeowners
- An average reimbursement of $2,613 per household
City officials say the program has generated about $7 in private investment for every $1 in public funding…
