Does your home need a new roof?  How about new paint, or wheelchair access?  If you are a Salt Lake City resident you may qualify to receive some of these services free of charge!

Salt Lake City’s Housing & Neighborhood Development Department has partnered with the World Changers organization to provide SLC residents free home repairs.  Over the past two years this partnership brought nearly 550 youth volunteers from around the country to Salt Lake City as part of a special neighborhood restoration event.  Together, we have provided 56 homes free housing repairs.  These homes received new roofs, new siding, new windows, wheelchair accessible ramps, and more. 

Don’t miss your opportunity to apply for World Changers 2009.  This program is available to homeowners in Salt Lake City with low incomes, the elderly, and disabled.  The homeowner does not have to pay for services and materials received, however they must be aware that work is completed by volunteers – mostly teenage youth.  Possible repairs or additions include wheelchair ramps, repair or replacement of roofs, vinyl siding replacement or painting, window repairs, deck or patio repairs, fences, yard and landscape clean-up, and other projects as approved.
