RE: INHS Small Repair Program Application
Dear Ithaca Urban Renewal Agency,
On behalf of the Tompkins County Office for the Aging (COFA), I am writing to express my strong support for INHS’ application for funding for the Small Repair Program. This funding will allow INHS to continue its successful work in providing health and safety home repairs to low-income, aging, and disabled homeowners at no cost to these clients.
The mission of the Tompkins County Office for the Aging is to assist older adults to remain at home and independent for as long as possible and appropriate with a decent quality of life and human dignity. As you know, the Office for the Aging works closely with INHS to meet the home repair needs of Tompkins County’s aging homeowners by providing referrals to the program and facilitating linkages to additional services.
Many critical home repairs throughout the City of Ithaca and Tompkins County remain uncompleted due to homeowner’s lack of financial resources. The ability to access free home repair services through INHS allows low-income aging adults in our community to continue living independently in a safer, healthier home.
We believe the continuation of the Small Repair Program will significantly improve the lives of low- and moderate-income homeowners in the City of Ithaca. COFA extends our full support of this request. If you have any questions about COFA’s partnership with INHS, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Lisa Monroe Director

RE: INHS Small Repair Program Application
Dear Ithaca Urban Renewal Agency,
I am writing on behalf of the Tompkins County Health Department to express our full support for INHS' application for the Small Repair Program. The Small Repair Program has a long, storied, and successful track record of improving the living conditions oflow-income, aging, and disabled homeowners by providing home repairs that improve the health and safety of the home and reduce hazardous conditions.
The Tompldns County Health Department operates the Healthy Neighborhoods Program (HNP). This program conducts home visits to improve the health, safety, and indoor environmental conditions of residents throughout Tompldns County. HNP provides participants with a variety of safety products such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, asthma and allergen reducing products, environmentally friendly cleaning products, fall prevention tools, and education. Through this program the Health Department collaborates with INHS' Small Repair Program as we encounter many health and safety needs that exceed the scope of our services, such as the growing need for accessible wheelchair ramps and showers.
Our experience has shown us the value and impact of INHS' Small Repair Program on the lives of the many homeowners it serves each year. The Tompldns County Health Department extends our full support for this proposal. Please contact me if you have any questions.
Thank you, :e:~pr Public Health Director

Bullet points below
What is the Small Home Repair Program?
• The Small Home Repair Program was created in 1977 by INHS in order to help homeowners do small repairs around the house that fits within their budget. • The goal has always been to make homes safer and healthier for community members. Our repair specialists are incredibly skilled but also really care about their clients. Oftentimes doing more than what the client has requested. • Last year, we celebrated our 8,000th home repair. And in 2018 alone, we completed 103 home repairs. • Our hope is to continue to grow the program, the number of home repairs and also the reach into other counties.
What we do
• Anything from fixing or replacing steps or porches, improving lighting, alleviating trip hazards, we can add handrails or grab bars, fix leaky faucets, replace broken windows, and also installing wheelchair ramps.
Who this helps
• Homeowners who are disabled, aged 60 or older, or single head of household of any age in City of Ithaca and throughout Tompkins County.
