LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Frustrated by the lack of similar services and sensitive to the needs of clients who came to the organization seeking assistance, Habitat for Humanity Lake County initiated the Brush of Kindness Critical Home Repair Program in 2011.

The program is designed to address the health and safety repair needs of Lake County low-income households, particularly military veterans and seniors in order to keep their homes safe and affordable.

To date, the organization has assisted nearly 400 qualified households throughout Lake County.

Available repairs range from the replacement of broken windows, installation of heating and cooling systems, electrical work and plumbing repair to flooring, handicap accessibility modifications, installation of wheelchair ramps and lifts, deck and step repair and more.

Services are available to any resident who meets the income and application qualifications of the program.

If you would like to volunteer or donate to the Brush of Kindness Program, or for more information about the program, to learn if you qualify or to receive an application, visit 15312 Lakeshore Drive in Clearlake, visit the website at www.lakehabitat.org or call 707-994-1100, Extension 108.
