Habitat for Humanity of Utah County recently kicked off its Critical Home Home Repair Grant Program with help from local Home Depot employees last week. Habitat provided a $3,500 grant to the Fisher family in Lehi to put hardwood floors throughout their home. Home Depot employees volunteered their time to lay the floor with help from Whitewater and local LDS ward members. The mother, Tara Fisher, has Muscular Dystrophy and is in the wheelchair. The new floors will give her much needed accessibility throughout her home.
Habitat’s Critical Home Repair Grant program is one of three programs offered through Habitat’s new Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative (NRI). The Critical Home Repair Grant program provides grants up to $3,500 for low-income, Utah County homeowners, seniors, and Veterans living outside the Provo/Orem area. Grants can be used to repair critical damage to a home or eliminate immediate hazards to health, safety, and/or sanitation. Program funding was made possible through Utah County’s CDBG program. To find out more about this grant program or other local NRI programs, contact LeAnn at (801) 368-2250 or leann@habitatuc.org.
