Aging in Place

Helping Older Adults Age at Home

Habitat helps older adults age at home. Our local Habitat affiliates collaborate with human services organizations to evaluate individual needs and provide critical home repairs, modifications, and community services.

Home Modifications

Home modifications are changes made to a home that help create a living environment that is safe, accessible, and promotes independence for the people who live in them. These changes include removing hazards and adding supportive features, such as ramps, door units, grab bars, raised toilet seats, weatherstripping and other weatherization.

Partnerships

Habitat works in partnership with governments, private enterprises, and community stakeholders to leverage resources, secure funding, and implement creative housing solutions that benefit the communities. Home modifications foster economic growth, improve health and social outcomes, and promote long-term community stability. It increases the value of surrounding properties. It's more cost effective than alternatives, such as funding.
