Senior Coastsiders offers free home repairs

Seniors seeking free home repair help should apply to Senior Coastsiders by March 31, to be considered for this year’s Home Rehabilitation Day on June 11, according to the San Mateo County Times.

Since 1990, the program has provided senior and disabled people who meet income criteria with free help with minor home projects, such as replacement of rotted stairs or porches, installation of grab bars or extra stair railings, wheelchair-ramp construction, repair of plumbing problems, house painting, yard work and more.

The repairs are performed by Coastside contractors and other volunteers.  Since 1990, 1,900 volunteers have worked on 382 homes.
