For eight years, it has participated in providing free rehabilitation and critical repairs to homes of qualified residents.
Who is it for?
Low-income homeowners including the elderly, disabled individuals, and families with children.
Why do they do it?
The goal is to preserve affordable homeownership and revitalize the community by making homes safer, more accessible, and more energy efficient.
Impact
