Resources
There are many resources available to homeowners, and particularly to elderly or disabled homeowners. Many local and county services are available, ranging from energy-efficient upgrades to rental assistance to those in need. In addition, many religious organizations and volunteer groups provide assistance with property maintenance. To find out about such services in your area, contact your resident manager, or talk with other residents in your community. An Internet search for the type of assistance you are seeking will yield a wealth of information. Here are some additional resources if you’re planning a home improvement, or home maintenance project.
