In St. Louis, 60% of residents over the age of 65 own their own home. However, the cost of home repairs can be a problem for older St. Louis homeowners, especially if they have limited income and lack access to resources.
The University of Missouri-St. Louis’ Community Innovation and Action Center and several of its partners, including Legal Services of Eastern Missouri, the St. Louis City Senior Fund and the St. Louis Vacancy Collaborative, will begin studying home repair needs for older St. Louis homeowners with the help of a $178,000 grant from the RRF Foundation for Aging. The research will begin in January with a survey of homeowners 60 and older.
