Build. Repair. Shelter. Rehabilitate.
Snow Belt Housing is a Lowville nonprofit helping Lewis County residents find an affordable apartment, keep a roof overhead, and repair the homes they own. We've been doing it since 1982.
Choose what fits your situation.
Whether we build, repair and rehabilitate homes or provide emergency shelter options to our neighbors, as a community we can make sure everyone has a safe place to live.
The Warming Center, Lewis County DSS and Victim Services can help right away, including after hours.

For seniors, people with a disability, and working families.
We manage 172 apartments in Lowville, Copenhagen, Croghan, Harrisville and Lyons Falls. Our senior and disability apartments include rental assistance, so you pay about 30% of your income. Water, sewer and trash are included everywhere.
For households facing eviction or without a home.
Our rapid rehousing program can cover a security deposit and several months of rent so you can move into a safe, stable apartment.
For income-qualified homeowners, landlords and first-time buyers.
Grant funding pays for repairs that keep your home safe, warm and dry: roofs, heating, electrical, plumbing, foundations and accessibility.
Your gift helps a Lewis County family move in, stay housed or fix a failing furnace.
