PHW’s Safe & Sound Critical Home Repair Program

Everybody has a story. At PA Health & Wellness (PHW), we want to make sure that we help write a happy ending to those stories.

Meet Tammy. Tammy is one of the PHW Participants who has benefitted from PHW’s Safe & Sound Critical Home Repair Program. PHW’s Safe & Sound partnership with the Habitat for Humanity of the Greater Harrisburg Area was developed to help people write their own stories and create their happy endings.  

The partnership with the Habitat for Humanity of the Greater Harrisburg Area underwritten by the Centene Foundation and PHW and will cover the cost of eligible interior and exterior structural, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and other critical home repairs so that eligible Participants can remain in their homes.

Low-income homeowners can often face significant challenges with home repairs and improvements. With limited financial resources, it can be difficult for these homeowners to invest in maintenance, equipment, and the most basic home improvements. For others, needed accessibility-related improvements or modifications cannot be completed due to underlying structural issues until corrected. With the PHW Safe & Sound Program we can overcome those issues and help people stay at home. 

Nearly 75,000 Participants across the state are eligible for home modifications that improve home safety and help keep them in their homes as long as possible and support greater independence. Just like Tammy. 

Through the partnership with Habitat for Humanity and its Critical Home Repair Program, PHW has helped write the happy ending to her story and we look forward to helping many others write theirs.
