Care and Repair
Care and Repair is designed to provide assistance and support to elderly and disabled home owners and private tenants to enable them to repair, adapt or improve their homes.
In Perth & Kinross, there are two Care & Repair projects covering different areas. Perthshire Care & Repair, managed by Perthshire Housing Association, covers Perth itself, the Carse of Gowrie, Highland Perthshire and Eastern Perthshire. Strathearn Care & Repair is managed by Hillcrest Housing Association and covers the Strathearn and Kinross areas.
Care & Repair cannot pay for, or carry out the work but it can;
- Help you decide what repairs and improvements are needed in your home
- Give you an idea of the cost and help you raise the money
- Help you find a suitable builder or contractor to do the work
- Help you fill in forms and apply for grants or loans
- Put you in touch with other agencies which may be able to help
- No job is too small or too large.
