ElderWeb

The Florida Association of Area Agencies on Aging has created a home repair database for seniors. The purpose of the Elder Home Repair Database is to catalogue publicly funded programs within Florida that provide home repairs for elder residents. This information is intended to assist the staff of community information and referral programs, local aging service providers, elder help lines, legislative district offices, case management practitioners, and others serving older persons to locate home repair services for elders. The database contains only those home repair programs that receive some or all of their revenue from public sources. Repair workers for these programs are directly employed by the program or are subcontractors which are paid directly by the program. Older persons served by these programs do not directly pay the worker performing the repairs from their personal resources. Users can search for home repair services by county and type of service needed.
