Older adults

Describe the challenge you want to address:

Seniors have trouble getting help with home repairs, sanitation, and minor errands. We need people we can call on to make needed light support.

Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:

A program specifically targeted to help senior and older adult homeworkers in light repairs and errands, clean up in the neighborhood. There should be 2-3 neighborhood specific people to call to come and run errands at the store and to assess what other needs the homeowner needs for repairs and light support, and snow repair. This would also be owned for each neighborhood so you know who to call to assess what each home needs. This can be a neighbor to neighbor check-in too.
