Fix-It/Home Repairs

Fixing small problems around the house can make a big difference in feeling safe and comfortable at home.

Our Fix-It Program connects community members with licensed contractors who offer discounted rates to help with minor home repairs and safety upgrades. Whether it’s installing a grab bar, replacing a light fixture, or securing a loose step, we’re here to help clients get trusted, affordable service.

Aging homes — and aging residents — sometimes need small fixes to stay livable and safe. Our goal is to help neighbors maintain their independence and peace of mind without the burden of navigating repairs alone.

Typical projects include:

• Installing grab bars, handrails, or non-slip surfaces

• Fixing door locks, light switches, or minor plumbing issues

• Repairing steps, decks, or loose railings

• Replacing smoke detector batteries and lightbulbs

• Helping improve basic home safety and accessibility

To keep things smooth and safe:

• All work is performed by licensed, insured contractors

• Volunteers do not perform repairs, but our team helps coordinate every project

• Clients pay the contractor directly at a reduced rate

• If a client cannot afford the work, we may cover some or all of the cost through grants or donations, depending on available funding

• Each project is reviewed in advance to ensure it meets safety, scope, and eligibility guidelines

If you or someone you know needs a little extra help making their home safer, we’re here to guide you through the process. And if you’re a licensed contractor who wants to partner with us, we’d love to hear from you!
