Habitat is able to help homeowners who are 55 and older or with a documented physical disability who struggle to maintain the integrity of their homes. Through the Aging in Place Program, people are able to reclaim their homes with pride and dignity and age in place.
The program eliminates substandard housing through home improvement projects. Most grants include homeowner participation of 25% of repair cost due at the time of services.
