Trellis Grant for Home Modifications for Older Adults

We are thrilled to share that Trellis awarded us a grant to provide home modifications for older adults in the Twin Cities!  This funding will support Safe at Home projects for 50 older adult homeowners, which may include installing grab bars, handrails, handheld shower units, shower seats, no-slip bath treads, improved lighting to prevent falls, removing trip hazards, and more. With this support, we also plan to distribute Safe at Home Kits to 156 older adult homeowners, which will include a smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, no-slip bath treads, dawn to dusk lightbulbs and nightlights, grabbers, mini-flash light, batteries, kitchen fire extinguisher, reusable masks, sanitizing wipes, and an application for Safe at Home services. This grant will have direct, positive impact on the health and safety of the older adult homeowners we are able to serve and we are grateful for the support of Trellis!

Lowe’s Provides Ramp for Veteran in Need

We would like to send a special thank you to Lowe’s Home Improvement for providing the funding needed to build a veteran and his wife a ramp! This couple has lived in their home in the Nokomis neighborhood for more than 20 years.  Due to age and illness, they needed a ramp and interior accessibility modifications to be able to remain in their home.  With the support provided by Lowe’s, we were able to build the ramp and modify the home so they can remain safely and independently in their own home and neighborhood for years to come!
