Program provides grants to elderly who can’t afford home repairs

Posted

The Senior Real Estate Solutions Good Deeds Program is seeking applications from eligible seniors in need of home repair or maintenance.

The Good Deeds Program was developed by Bruce Lane, a local realtor with Williams and Stuart Real Estate in Cranston and founder of Senior Real Estate Solutions. Noting that some seniors could not afford the services needed for proper maintenance of their homes, Lane established a grant for seniors with limited financial means through Senior Real Estate Solutions, a free referral source for seniors looking for home maintenance and repair professionals.

“I founded Senior Real Estate Solutions because, as a realtor, time after time I would see homes that had been neglected simply because people didn’t know where to turn for trustworthy service professionals. The Good Deeds Program is a logical extension of that service. Repair needs that go unattended because of an inability to pay generally makes a problem worse and more costly in the long run. We’re pleased to be able to provide a service that is able to help some of the thousands of people on fixed incomes for whom home repair services are too expensive,” Lane said in a statement.

Those interested in receiving a Good Deeds grant should contact Senior Real Estate Solutions at 228-7800 or through the website at seniorrealestatesolutionsri.com. Eligibility rules apply.
