About Home Repair Services
Home Repair Services is a community-based initiative designed to help low-income homeowners repair and maintain their homes to ensure safe and healthy living conditions. The program provides a range of services to help homeowners with critical repairs, accessibility modifications, and energy efficiency upgrades.
The Home Repair Services initiative provides financial assistance to eligible homeowners for repairs such as roofing, plumbing, electrical, and structural work. The program also provides grants to eligible homeowners for accessibility modifications such as wheelchair ramps, grab bars, and other modifications to ensure safe and accessible living conditions.
In addition, Home Repair Services provides education and resources to homeowners to help them maintain their homes and prevent future repairs. The program offers workshops and training on home maintenance, energy efficiency, and other topics related to homeownership.
Home Repair Services works in partnership with local contractors, building trades, and community organizations to provide high-quality, affordable repair services to homeowners. The program also provides job training and employment opportunities for individuals in the building trades to help strengthen the local economy and increase access to quality repair services for homeowners.
Home Repair Services is committed to promoting healthy and sustainable communities by helping homeowners maintain safe and affordable housing. By providing critical repair and maintenance services, the program helps to prevent displacement, promote family stability, and support the health and well-being of individuals and families in our community.
