Provides home renovation and repair to elderly and/or disabled
low-income homeowners, and families with children. Their goal is to
keep people living in warmth, safety, and independence, while
helping to build better communities in Montgomery County. Many of
our neighbors have worked all their lives and have been physically
and financially able to maintain their homes in good condition. Now
due to illness, the loss of a spouse, aging, and/or economic
hardships, they are unable to do repair work themselves and their
homes deteriorate or become unsafe.
