Grant Assistance

We are a couple of Octogenarian retirees married for 57 years.  My wife was a 40 year federal employee and I am an world war II veteran and  have been employed for  53 years for various companies and in various fields.  

 We have resided for 50 plus years in our present home which is probably about hundred years old.   While it has served us well over the years it is in need of some significant repairs. For instance weatherproofing, because most of the windows need to be replaced, the chimney/flue maintained. The outdoor drainage system needs to be unclogged.

We would like some assistance in obtaining a Home Improvement Grant to help us defray some of the costs of making these repairs.

Our annual income is about $32,000.00 so it is fairly obvious that it is not enough to consider even a low cost loan to manage any part of the needed improvements.

We sincerely thank you in adavnce for any suggestions and/or assistance you can give us.

Senior needs help

Hello, I am looking for help on behalf of my mother.  She almost 70 yrs old and her house is in desperate need of renovations.  She is retired and living off of her social security.  Her roof was leaking to the point where the ceilings were caving in.  We were able to get her a small grant from her state for a new roof and part of her money was taken from a reputable contractor who went bad and started ripping people off.  She had enough to finish the roof, but the house is in such a bad mess that she needs more assistance.  Her windows and doors are rotted and let in a tremendous amount of air during the winter and her bathroom leaks and her floors are so badly warped.  I am trying to find some type of grant money to help her out because she cannot afford any loans right now.  I can use all the help that I can get for her.  Thanks.
