About
About This Program
Gas furnace and water heater repair or replacement, plus small home repairs, for low-income Georgia homeowners age 60 and older.
HopeWorks, a Christian nonprofit in Atlanta, helps eligible widows and income-qualified seniors stay safe and independent at home. Services include gas furnace repair or replacement, gas water heater repair or replacement, and, when funding permits, small home repairs such as grab bars, handrails, minor plumbing or door repairs, small trip hazards and weatherstripping. Age rules for furnace and water heater help depend on the funding source: some programs serve homeowners 60 and older, others 65 and older. HopeWorks does not pay utility bills, replace roofs or do major repairs. Apply online; the Intake Team at 404-872-0167, extension 1, can help with the application and confirm whether your address is in the service area. Applying does not guarantee help, office visits are by appointment only, and applicants of all faiths are welcome.
