minor home repair
The East Toledo Senior Activities Center, in conjunction with the Area Office on Aging, provides minor home repair to Lucas County residents who qualify with little or no cost to the senior.
The purpose of this program is to ensure that area seniors have a safe home in which to live in. All applicants must own the home in which they are living and that requires repairs and be current on their real estate taxes. If you or someone you know is in need of repairs, not limited to, but including window, gutters, plumbing, furnace, railings, tubs, etc. call the Senior Center and ask for the Home Repair Coordinator at (419) 691-2254 or click the link below..
You will be asked to fill out an application and provide proof of income. You will be placed on a waiting list in order of most pressing needs.
