Habitat ReStore Manager: Play a key role in raising the funds that build affordable housing in Bennington County.
Performing necessary repairs, and aiding in accessibility
Our Home Repair Program started in 2011 as a way for us to help more members in our community here in Southern Vermont. Habitat focuses on long term solutions, which means it takes a lot of time and effort to help each family. The Home Repair Program allows us to have a much larger impact in the community.
The program is meant for any minor repairs needed, and accessibility aids for homeowners to remain in their own home safely for as long as possible. Some Habitat affiliates call this “Aging in Place” or “Older Adults Home Repair” or even “Home Preservation”. We however did not want to limit who can and should apply for this program.
Without any specialized marketing or advertisements, we have become well known locally for our ramps. Well over half of our projects have been ramps, either in the front or rear of a home. This is so important because it has helped numerous people come home from long term care facilities, and in some circumstances has awarded freedom to previously homebound individuals.
