Why home repairs matter
In older neighborhoods, small repair issues can quickly become safety concerns. For many homeowners, especially seniors and working families, unexpected repairs can be financially overwhelming.
By investing in critical repairs and accessibility improvements, Home Repair & Rehabilitation helps residents remain safely housed, preserves existing housing stock, and strengthens block-by-block neighborhood stability.
Want to support this work?
Home repair projects are made possible through partnerships, volunteers, and community support. If your organization, business, or group is interested in volunteering or supporting a repair day, we would love to connect.
