Home Repair/Rehabilitation assistance through NY Connects / Washington County Office for Aging

How it works

Washington County’s Information & Assistance page says the Office for Aging and Disabilities Resource Center is designed to answer questions, provide direct services, and make referrals to other agencies. It also says staff complete a comprehensive needs assessment for consumers referred or requesting assistance, with the assessment done in the consumer’s home. After that, the consumer is counseled on options and opportunities available to them.

What the service covers

The official page does not publish a fixed repair scope, reimbursement process, or dollar amount. However, the county’s NY Connects checklist includes “Home Repair/Rehabilitation,” showing that home repair help is part of the county’s service network. The page also notes that the office coordinates publicly and privately funded home and community-based services.

How to apply

Residents can contact the Aging & Disabilities Resource Center / NY Connects office at the Washington County Municipal Center in Fort Edward. The page gives a phone number and says staff can help determine which program best meets a consumer’s needs after the assessment.

Timing and deadlines

The page does not state an application window, deadline, or funding cap. It presents the service as an ongoing county information-and-referral resource rather than a standalone grant program.
