WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan 13, 2026--
The National League of Cities (NLC) today announced a new partnership with Oncourse Home Solutions, equipping municipalities with a trusted provider of affordable and flexible home protection programs that align with their community’s priorities.
Across the country, many NLC member communities are grappling with dwindling housing stock while working to help homeowners stay in their homes. Unexpected repair costs for critical systems like water, sewer, heating, and cooling may add significant financial strain to families already burdened by rising homeownership costs. These unforeseen expenses can quickly become unmanageable, threatening housing stability and potentially forcing families to choose between essential home repairs and other basic necessities.
Through this collaboration with Oncourse Home Solutions, NLC members can offer their residents affordable and flexible protection plans engineered to help maintain housing stability, preserve affordability, and support local community initiatives.
Community Impact Beyond Individual Repairs
By delivering exceptional service and high-impact products, the program creates meaningful value for residents while building trust and confidence. Key benefits include:
- Expanded Program Offering: More coverage at comparable pricing – offerings include options for sewer line, water line, interior plumbing, heating/cooling system protection, and others.
- Alternative Municipal Funding: Program revenue sharing generates flexible, sustainable funding that municipalities can reinvest in community priorities.
- Housing Preservation and Affordability: Aligns with municipal housing goals by protecting existing homes from costly repairs while delivering genuine community value.
- Sustainability Goals: Coverage for water line leaks and HVAC systems support municipal conservation and energy efficiency objectives.
“Cities are at the forefront of addressing housing and infrastructure challenges, and partnerships like the one with Oncourse Home Solutions deliver real solutions so communities have practical tools to protect homes, reduce financial strain and advance sustainability goals - all while reinforcing trust between residents and local leaders,” Clarence E. Anthony, CEO and Executive Director of the National League of Cities.

Wayne, the Las Vegas Valley Water District, and Pittsburgh – Oncourse Home Solutions brings deep expertise in designing programs that reflect local priorities and deliver tangible community value.
