The senior repair program is limited to minor exterior home repairs, most commonly porch enhancements such as scrape/paint, lattice repair, power washing, and floorboard replacement. The program can also help with weeding and light landscaping. Unfortunately, at this time, our program cannot support major repairs such as roofing, ramps, or any interior repairs, as we do not go within the homes. If you do need assistance with repairs that are not covered under this program, your healthy home specialist can connect you to city resources that can, if applicable. Reach out to Sienna Dunakin if interested.
