Minor home repairs do not involve major structural changes or repairs in the dwelling. Maintenance is defined as those services necessary for accessiblilty (e.g., repairs to ramps, grab bars, handrails) safety (e.g., electrical wiring) or security (locks). Eligible clients are those whose health, and/or safety or independence are jeopardized because of deficeincies in their place of residence.
This service is limited to clients who own and occupy their own home. Or those who are in rental housing where the owner refuses to make needed repairs or alter the residence to adapt to special client needs.
Written permission from the landlord is required before repairs or maintenance can be undertaken.
