I would like the answer to question #6. My husband and I are both on ODSP and have had recent repairs done through RAPP. After all work done we decided to check out our bedroom and found mold all in the ceiling and some walls. We need additional assistance to fix this problem. My husband has emphysema. We need help please. Thank you

We are seniors on a fixed income and live in a well maintained 98 year old family home. We need to have old wiring changed before it affects our insurance. Is there any grants or other financial help that we could apply for in this respect. Thanks for your reply.

I am a senior, widow on a low income. My roof needs reroofing. It is a semi and the next door neighbour and I agree that it really needs to be done this year. Is there any help for me towards this problem. Thanks for the advice.

my husband and i own our home with no morgage as of yet. we are in desprate need of a grant to upgrade our septic system as it is from the early 1970’s. We are afraid the weeping bed is close to seeping into our drinking water. If you could get back to us and maybe let us know how to apply for a goverment grant that would be great. My husband and my incomes combined are under 30,000 a year. We make enough to just keep the house running. But we survive.

Thank you

Do we qualify for any grants or subsidies if the work was done recently on my mom’s home. She suffered a stroke in June 2009 and was hospitalized. She did not want to go to a home, so we had to modify a backroom to accommodate her needs. This room had to be completely retrofitted from top to bottom. Because she was going to be discharged fairly soon the renovations had to be done quickly. We required, a wheelchair ramp, railings, wood floors, new windows, insulated exterior, barrier free bathroom, carpet removed and replaced in other parts of house. Larger doorways, handles, new roof on the addition, etc. She lives with a caregiver, on a small pension but owns the house

I’ve read the previous comments. Everything I’ve read has been a question or request… but there are no answers or responses. Am I missing the point to this page? I too have questions…

We have recently had a flood in the basement from a careless act of my son, 13 years old, throwing something in the sump pump hole. Insurance company came in and found Mold. Unfortunately found mold older than the recent flooding would have caused, and we did not know about it. They immediately cancelled our house insurance and told us that they would not cover the costs to get rid of the mold in the house as the contract states their are no funds for mold remediation. Our roof needs to be redone, our water softener needs to be replaced and the glass in the front window fell down from the frame of the window and the whole window needs to be replaced! HELP! All these repairs total up to $40,000.00 plus. We do not have this kind of money to put into the house and are looking for some sort of grant and/or low % loan to take care of the repairs. I am a nurse who works fulltime but recently been told of our hospital ward closing. My husband hasnt worked in the last 6 years. We need any help we can get to pay for these repairs. Can you help us or steer us in the right direction to get help?
Thank you for any help you can give us.
