Senior Home Repair

For so many low-income residents over 60, food, medication, mortgage payments and other ‘musts’ mean home repairs are deferred. Often, hazardous situations that threaten safely and health don’t get the attention they require.

Repairs may include door repair, grab bar installation, plumbing repairs, and other safety and health projects.

This program is designed for seniors in our Focus Neighborhoods – Old Dundalk, Dun-Logan, St. Helena, Turner Station and Graceland Park– with free repairs.
