Ames Repair and Care

This program is designed to provide assistance to those who would not otherwise be able to maintain their residences due to age, disability or lack of financial resources. The result of volunteer assistance will help avoid the risk of citations for nuisance or maintenance violations and their cost.

Volunteers are provided to the home owner in need. A volunteer could expect to participate in any of the following activities:

  • Removal of yard debris and outdoor storage
  • Trimming trees and shrubs
  • Mowing tall grass and controlling weeds
  • Snow removal
  • Minor painting
  • Repairing or installing exterior handrails and guardrails
