Home Repair—under this program we
go out into the community and repair homes.
The homes are repaired for families that
live in substandard housing conditions, but
do not have the resources to improve the
home. The work is done by the Mission teams
that come and donate their skill and time to
repair these homes and better the lives of
families. 8 to 10 homes are repaired per
year depending on the funds; the money for
this project comes from grants (Wells Fargo
Bank) local business and donations
The Home Repair Initiative
utilizes the labor of persons involved in
short term mission such as
VIM
(http://www.umvim.org/home.htm),
NOMAD
(http://www.nomadsumc.org), and
various church and youth groups to carry out
much needed repairs on homes in the Pharr
area. Repairs range from extensive
structural repairs to minor improvements
such as installing handicap ramps or
handrails.
