Welcome to Franklin County Home Care’s Consumer’s Home Repair Guide
82% of elders in Franklin County and the North Quabbin region own their homes. Homeowners’ average income is $13,000/ year, and people report that keeping their homes repaired, as well as safe and warm, is their biggest unmet need. Homeowners need resources to help them stay in their homes for as long as they choose. This Consumer’s Home Repair Guide has many resources that may help. Renters can take advantage of these resources too.
