Habitat offers home repair services for low income homeowners
July 19, 2017
Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity (AAHH) has completed nearly 200 Home Repair projects since 2010. The program enables low-income homeowners to age in place by offering low-cost home improvements that improve accessibility, safety, and comfort and/or remediate issues that negatively affect health and well-being (water damage, inadequate heat). The majority of Habitat’s Home Repair clients are elderly, but the program does not have an age-restriction.
Services include, but are not limited to:
- Modifications for accessibility such as building handicapped accessible ramps, installing grab bars and replacing traditional tubs with shower stalls
- Repairing or replacing siding, stairs, porches, decks, railings, roofs, and flooring
- Exterior painting/staining
- Upgrading plumbing, electrical and heating/cooling systems
By offering low monthly payments and 0% interest financing, Habitat makes home improvement affordable for low-income homeowners who need repair work but struggle to afford it.
