SHRRP: Improving Homes, Improving Lives

Linda Post remembers first learning about SHRRP in the community newspaper. In the 10 years since, SHRRP has completed many home improvement projects and repairs on Linda’s home.

“They replaced my windows, built a ramp to the door, redid a bathroom and replaced the AC,” said Linda. “They also redid the roof. It was over 23 years old and the shingles were coming off. They had it done in like four hours—they were better than Santa’s helpers!”

Of all the projects, the new flooring is Linda’s favorite. “It looks so suave and you don’t see the dog hair on it. It brightens my mood and reminds me of an old farm house.”

Linda recommends that seniors not hesitate to call, “They are really good. They know what they are doing.”

Rito Lopez, SHRRP Assistant Operations Manager, is proud of the program and impact it makes in the lives of those it serves, “When you see the big difference and positive emotions it makes in the lives of our seniors and their homes, it makes us want to continue to find ways to improve and expedite our services.”

SHRRP provides a variety of services to qualified community residents. These can include complex renovations and retrofitting of interiors to meet health and safety needs such as, but not limited to:
