FAQs

Why did you change your name?

We’ve adopted our new name and look to best reflect our mission, share our story, and communicate our core services of weatherization, rehabilitation, revitalization and conservation. The reference to elderly in our former name, ElderHomes, led many to believe that our services were only available to seniors. While seniors do represent a significant portion of our clients, we provide services to disabled residents and qualified homeowners in addition to low-income seniors. Our new brand eliminates this confusion to more accurately reflect all the people we serve: families, disabled, low-income, children and seniors.
