Home Repairs partners with elder homeowners between 30% and 80% of the area median income (AMI). Often these elders struggle to maintain the exterior of their homes due to a lack of resources, which can include finances, time, and or physical ability. Often a sense of social isolation accompanies the challenges of maintaining a home. By partnering with the Age in Place repairs program, homeowners gain a renewed sense of pride and dignity about their home. And they also can become more connected in the community.
Western Lake Superior Habitat for Humanity's Repairs program partners with service groups, businesses, churches, and community clubs looking for opportunities to make a difference in their community. These organizations and businesses will sponsor the project and provide the volunteers while our organization provides experienced construction coordination to oversee the project, purchase materials, pull permits, and put the pieces in place for a successful workday.
