Habitat for Humanity Sarasota launched the Critical Home Repair program to help income-eligible homeowners in Sarasota remain in their homes by eliminating health and safety issues, remove barriers for disabilities, and enable seniors to age in-place.
Partnership
Habitat Sarasota and Roofing by Curry expand their partnership to now serve income-eligible families in Sarasota that own and occupy their home and are in critical need of a roof replacement or repair damages or leaks. This annual commitment includes all labor and materials necessary to repair eight roofs.
Habitat Sarasota is now accepting applications for roof repairs. Based on funding availability, Habitat Sarasota is also accepting applications for heating and cooling systems, plumbing and septic systems and replacing water heaters. Applicants must meet the income requirements and qualifications for the program. To learn more and apply, click here.
Roofing by Curry’s commitment to Habitat Sarasota for roof replacement allows the organization to address a critical need for low-income homeowners.
The reality is that many homeowners in Sarasota County can’t afford to replace their roof, HVAC systems or hot water heaters. Applicants for the program are often homeowners that have experienced major medical set-backs or have financial challenges with affording the lump sum necessary for critical repairs. We often hear of families that are struggling due to high cost of medication or have experienced loss of wages due to a disability or a family medical set back.
Renee Snyder, President and CEO, Habitat for Humanity Sarasota
Roofing by Curry has a long history of supporting Habitat Sarasota by providing donated labor and materials for Habitat’s affordable ownership, first-time homebuyer program. Over the past five years, Roofing by Curry has sponsored 10 roofs for Habitat Sarasota’s homeownership program with an ongoing commitment of two per year.
We have been blessed to build a successful business in Sarasota, so it just makes sense to give back by expanding our partnership with Habitat Sarasota. Through giving back, we also create a generous and compassionate workplace culture. We don’t want to be just another roofing company. We want to build a legacy that Roofing by Curry cares about people who are struggling in our community to keep a “roof over their head.
