Senior Home Repair Program

The Senior Home Repair Program is a lifeline for seniors, veterans, and disabled homeowners in Greater Atlanta—offering free, critical home repairs that make it possible to age in place with dignity, safety, and comfort.

As part of Nehemiah Project CDC’s Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative, this program strengthens communities from the inside out—ensuring that vulnerable residents aren’t displaced due to unsafe living conditions. From fixing roofs and plumbing to installing accessibility modifications, we’re building healthier, more resilient homes—one repair at a time.
