Home Repair Program improves health,
safety conditions
Thank you, Home Repair Volunteers, for all you do!
Sharon Andersen
Home Repair Director |
|
Why Home Repair? CCJ is aware that significant numbers of low income homeowners live in houses that are unsafe or unhealthy; many of the owners do not have the financial means or the skills to improve the conditions, and there is a need for a volunteer service organization to help out. |
|
How Does Home Repair Work? Applications for repairs are accepted only as referrals from
social service
agencies and faith- based organizations. Applications that have passed a
screening process are prioritized. The repair work is then performed by
volunteers to the extent possible or by professionals as necessary. |
|
Who Pays the Expenses? Most
of the labor is by volunteers. Costs of materials and contracted services are paid with funds contributed by individuals, religious organizations and grants. Businesses also contribute through discounts and gifts-in-kind. |
|
How can I get involved? CCJ is always in need of volunteers to help
in home repairs, and the rewards are great as you receive the thanks
for your great deeds. If you'd like to help, please send a message to the
Home Repair Director, Sharon Andersen,
at HomeRepair@YavapaiCCJ.org, and she'll get back
to you as soon as possible. |
