Is there a grant for VA senior who needs home repair in NC?
We have a 40 year old deck that has become unsafe. We have asked a local carpenter to repair it for us and he is barely charging for his labor to repair it for us. He is only charging $2,000 for it and we don't have that kind of money to pay for it. I am 76 years old on Social Security and my husband, a veteran is 70 years old and could not do the construction because of his health. I am under medical treatment for severe arthritic back pain. How can we apply for a grant for the $2,000 to repair our deck? One of the grant applications asked about our income: our combined social security a month is $2,272 - annual income $27,264. Our medical expense so far in 2017 for my husband's surgery is $11,189.00. The grant agency came back and said we are ineligible because we make too much money. Hello? Who were they talking about? Is there a grant for VA senior who needs home repair in NC? We need help. Please tell us how we can get help. Thank you.
