The local branch of Habitat for Humanity has announced a brand new program.
Habitat for Humanity Lakeside’s new Aging in Place program is designed to help the area’s older adults stay in their homes for as long as possible.
Aging in Place will launch this month, and will offer affordable home modifications, including railings and ramps, raised toilet seats, grab bars, lighting improvements, secure locks, and lever-style door handles and faucets.
Sheboygan County residents who are 62 or older, own and occupy their own home in the county, have valid homeowner insurance, are current on property taxes, and meet income guidelines are encouraged to apply for Aging in Place home repairs.
The cost of the home repairs depends on the scope of the project and financing will be available.
