Senior Home Repair Program
Of the 43,000 individuals aged 65 and older living in Lorain County,
13.1% (5,645) of those seniors live at or below the federal poverty
guidelines according to the U.S. 2010 Census. This lack of financial
stablility has caused minor home repairs to become major and plague
Lorain County’s home-bound senior community.
Next Step Ministries, a national organization committed
to helping students become a part of real change in the
communities locally and internationally has partnered
with Neighborhood Alliance. This partnership has been
able to bring positive change to Lorain County’s senior
community. Industry professionals were able to lead
groups of young volunteers in various projects throughout
Lorain County. These projects included re-roofing homes,
building wheelchair ramps, making bathrooms handicap
accessible, yard clean up, painting rooms and fixing/
replacing porches and countless smaller tasks.
Next Step Ministries is a 501c3 non-profit organization committed
to helping students grow closer to Christ through a life-changing,
one-week mission trip. Students work on challenging construction
projects that are part of a larger Next Step Cause that focuses on
producing real, long-term change in these communities. We work
on these projects week after week, year after year, so students
know they’re part of a real change.
