Our Home Repair program addresses health, safety, and security issues including accessibility improvements and repairs that support aging in place.

 The majority of projects are completed by licensed contractors to ensure the highest quality repairs. Often, we also complete an A Brush With Kindness project in addition to a Home Repair project, if the homeowner requests it. A Brush with Kindness projects are smaller scale and led with the support of our volunteers at no cost to the homeowner, including painting, landscaping, and minor repairs and maintenance, grab bar installation, and more.

If you are only looking for an A Brush With Kindness project, please head to this page.
