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.

Examples of What We Do:

 

  • Grab bars around the toilet

  • Grab bars in the tub or shower

  • Secure handrails on stairs

  • We recommend installing lever door handles—exterior and interior

  • Install ramps at entrance doors

  • Install handrails at entrance doors and more where needed, both inside and outside your home

Our eligibility requirements:

 

The HSA program is designed for the homeowner in Fairfield Glade who has lived in their current residence for a minimum of 2 years. FGRS cannot assist those who are in rental homes. If financial assistance is needed, the homeowner must meet one or more of the following criteria to be considered eligible for assistance through the HSA program: 

  • Handicapped or disabled

  • Veteran or a spouse of a veteran

  • A single head of household (single parent) with children under 18 years old living at home
