Home Repairs Program
Repairs for Good is a nonprofit organization that provides FREE home repairs to low-income seniors and individuals with disabilities who own their home within Marion County, Indiana.
​
Since 2013, Home Repairs for Good's main program provided is home repair for critical needs. As many repairs as possible are performed by volunteers, only bringing in staff, subcontractors, and trainees when needed. Due to the income requirements for our services and the age of homes we are working on, there are oftentimes severe safety-related repairs needing to be addressed in order to allow the homeowner to safely reside in their home.
