Home Safety Assistance Service
The Home Safety Assistance Service (HSA) is designed to assist Fairfield Glade Residents with planning and resources for home safety. It is offered to those who are unable to complete safety measures to their homes because of abilities or circumstances beyond their control.
Program Overview: Our volunteers can assess and make recommendations to improve the safety of your home. The homeowner is responsible to pay for materials, and FGRS will perform the work with volunteer labor. Our goal is to allow residents to continue to safely live in their homes, by providing the skills and talents of volunteers.
