Aging in Place Programs
Home Repairs
By providing free critical home repairs, we help give homeowners the ability to stay in their homes and “age in place” in safe, healthy environments. Project Houseworks’ Home Repair Program provides roof replacements, toilet and plumbing repairs and fixes for gas leaks and other serious problems that require immediate attention.
Home Modifications
Project Houseworks’ Home Modification Program focuses on enhancing the independence and mobility of those with disabilities, to help them remain safe in their homes. Our program helps to prevent unnecessary institutionalization by offering free modifications that help increase safety, security and all-around independence.
Home Affordability Program
Project Houseworks’ Home Affordability Program helps low-income families and persons achieve the dream of home ownership by providing affordable purchasing opportunities.
Warm the Metro
Warm the Metro is an annual program we offer each fall, in partnership with the Heating and Cooling Contractors Association (HACCA). Members of HACCA volunteer to provide furnace maintenance checks and free repairs (sometimes even replacements) for homeowners enrolled in Project Houseworks.
Brush Up
BRUSH UP is a community-based event that provides volunteer teams (this year we had 700 volunteers participate!)
In 2021, Brush Up had 50 volunteer teams painting 36 homes! This year’s paint day is August 20, 2022 and we can’t wait to revive even more homes in our community. To learn more, click HERE!
