AmeriCares HomeFront Seeks Homeowners

In Need Of Repair Assistance

STAMFORD — AmeriCares HomeFront is looking for residents in need of home repairs for its annual repair blitz in spring 2009. Interested homeowners must apply before November 28 in order to be considered for help in the 2009 season. AmeriCares HomeFront offers qualifying, low-income homeowners help with faulty windows, doors, steps, railings, leaky roofs, painting, plumbing, and electrical needs at no cost.

Repairs will be performed by volunteers in early May. Referrals are welcome from neighbors, social service agencies, faith communities, and city officials. Quality of life improvements are made possible by a communitywide mobilization of building material and service donors, financial supporters, and groups of “hands on” volunteers from local corporations and faith-based and civic organizations.
