Our A Brush with Kindness Program is a home preservation service offered to low-income homeowners who need assistance maintaining their home.

These improvements are led with the support of our volunteers at no cost to the homeowner, and cover small scale projects such as painting, landscaping, minor repairs, maintenance, grab bar installation, and more. Read below for more information about eligibility and how to apply. 

Are you looking for assistance with a larger scale health and safety project? Please visit our Home Repair page. The 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.
