About Our Home Repair Program

The Meals on Wheels Central Texas Home Repair Program is for low income homeowners who face serious structural issues with their homes, resulting in a decline in their health and safety.

Through our Home Repair program, we provide major home safety repairs and accessibility modifications for eligible seniors. Our home repair model is holistic home repair rather than a patch job. That’s because the home repair program started as a result of our core mission to enable our clients to age in place. One can’t age in place when their home has barriers that make it impossible to live there.

 

What We Repair

Roofing
Leaky or damaged roofs that put your home at risk.

Windows & Doors
