Minor Home Repair Program
Providing a safer home environment for elderly or disabled neighbors, allowing them to remain in their homes.
Minor Home Repair (MHR) provides safety and security repair services to help low-income seniors and disabled individuals live safely in their own home and maintain their independence. Repairs are made by a team of skilled volunteers, and materials are purchased with donations.
Examples of minor home repairs include:
- Wheelchair ramps
- Installation of safety lights, locks, railings, grab bars, smoke detectors
- Repair of broken steps, doors, floors or retaining walls
- Basic weatherization
The Minor Home Repair program serves homeowners in areas of Kansas City, Missouri (south of the river) and Johnson County, Kansas.
