About HOME REPAIR SERVICES OF KENT COUNTY INC

Home Repair Services of Kent County is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides critical health-and-safety home repairs, accessibility modifications, homeowner education, inspections, and financial/foreclosure counseling to Kent County homeowners. The organization combines a staffed repair team and hands-on education (Fix-It School / Remodeling Together) to preserve affordable homeownership and help homeowners maintain safe, healthy, and accessible housing. Home Repair Services partners with local government, funders, and community organizations to deliver repairs and training to low- and moderate-income homeowners and those with limited mobility, prioritizing interventions that prevent displacement and support aging in place.
