Home Repair
Community Housing Solutions (CHS) provides home repairs to qualifying families who are owner-occupants of Guilford County homes and are below specific income levels. The scope of repairs may include but are not limited to: roofs, plumbing, floors, energy efficiency repairs, accessibility modifications, electrical hazards, and code violations. Work that is cosmetic or optional in nature does not fall within the scope of the program. We focus on repair issues which make a home warmer, drier, and safer, and have served over 1900 homes since our inception.

Aging Gracefully in Place
Aging Gracefully is a program that allows homeowners to live in and move through their homes safely, ultimately allowing them to stay in their homes longer. Over a four-month period, participants will receive:
- Visits from Registered Nurses and Occupational Therapists to improve Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).
- Necessary home modifications from Community Housing Solutions to address ADL improvements. Modifications will meet standards for the Americans with Disabilities Act and could include access ramps, grab bars, levered door handles, and bathroom accessibility.
- Calls to participate in three follow-up surveys to measure improvement and the impact of the program.
This program for Guilford County residents is provided by Community
