Helping older in-need residents remain in their own homes, safely, is the goal for the newly expanded critical repairs program with Habitat for Humanity of the N.C. Sandhills.
âThis has been a long time coming,â said Executive Director Amie Fraley, noting that it was challenging to get the critical repairs program initially off the ground. âWe didnât have a lot of dollars to throw at it but we would do a few repairs each year before we exhausted our resources.â
The program picked up steam and Habitat recently received a capacity build grant, one of only 15 affiliates in the country selected for this funding, to hire an Aging in Place coordinator to its construction team.
