Senior Initiative provides Cleveland’s older adults and adults with disabilities assistance to help them avoid becoming victims of scam contractors and avoid citations for housing violations. This initiative is a cooperative effort between the Departments of Aging, Building and Housing, Community Development, Public Health, and Law.
These programs provide grants to low-income seniors and adults with disabilities who own and reside in homes needing critical health, safety, or maintenance repairs. Typical repairs include roof replacement, major electrical work, major plumbing work, repair or replacement of the front and/or back steps, porch repairs, and the installation of ramps.
Chore workers provide home maintenance tasks, which may include general house cleaning, lawn mowing, snow removal, leaf raking, simple home repairs, and installation of smoke detectors.
