The program offers emergency repairs throughout the year and sponsors a one-day event for repairs that can wait until June. The purpose of the rehab program is to help seniors and adults with disabilities to live independently in their own homes for as long as possible.
What repairs will be done?
Projects dealing with safety, health and accessibility issues are given priority. In the past we have installed wheelchair ramps, replaced unsafe stairs and porches, fixed plumbing problems, repaired furnaces, painted houses inside and out and cleaned yards.
Who is eligible?
Homeowners must be at least 60 years of age or disabled and unable to do the repairs themselves. Recipients must meet income eligibility requirements.
How do I apply for help?
Call Senior Coastsiders at 726-9056 for an application. Return the application by March 31 with a $10 processing fee.
How do I volunteer?
Anyone fourteen and older can be a volunteer! Volunteers do not need to be skilled at home repairs, but any skills will be utilized. If you would like to volunteer, please call us at 726-9056 or print the Application at the top of this page and send it to us.
Who sponsors the program?
The Home Rehabilitation Program is sponsored by private donations, corporations, local businesses, San Mateo County Aging and Adult Services, and San Mateo County Department of Housing.
