It was found that there was not an agency that could assist low income, senior home owners maintain a safe home. This was the birth of our E-HOMES program. Many times older home owners have worked hard to pay off the home but as they age they are not physically or economically able to maintain the safety and security of the home. We can assist with minor maintenance, electrical, plumbing, locks, window repair, safety and security. We also help with mobility adaptations such as grab bars in the bathroom, tub or shower or hand held shower units, railing on your steps or new low profile thresholds and limited ramps. We can assist in minor home repair for low income home owners in McCracken county. (No rental property) Income requirements: Single: $1,600 max per month. Couple: $2,200 max per month.
