10 Free Home Upgrades Every Homeowner Over 60 Can Still Claim This Winter Donna's Home Book, sixty ways to a smaller bill and a house that's easier after 60 (your support keeps my small channel going), and a free chapter: donnafixes.com Most homeowners over 60 wait until the furnace quits in January, and by midwinter the money for help is often gone until next year. Donna, who ran maintenance on four hundred Chicago apartments for forty-one years, walks through ten real programs, from a free kit in the mail to weatherization, with the phone call that starts each one. You'll come away knowing who to ring, what to ask, and what to have ready, including 211, the Eldercare Locator, LIHEAP, Section 504 rural repair grants and Habitat for Humanity's Aging in Place work. She is plain that what's offered and who qualifies depends on your income, your age and your state, so nobody can promise you a result. Your one job this week is a single call asking what home repair, weatherization and heating help is open in your county right now. 0:00 Intro 1:15 Free Kit and Smoke Alarms 3:32 Home Energy Check-Up 4:59 Stair Rails and Grab Bars 8:23 Ramp and Aging in Place 10:03 City and County Repairs 11:47 Rural Repair Grant 13:31 Furnace and Whole House
