Habitat for Humanity of Dane County announced it received a $47,500 grant from Lowe’s to help repair a home in Madison.
The funding will support Habitat for Humanity of Dane County’s efforts to make homes safer and healthier and create stronger communities. With the support of the grant, the Habitat Home Repair program was able to work with Frank, a valued Madison senior. Frank reached out to Habitat to tackle several essential repairs needed to renew his homeowner’s insurance. Our licensed subcontractor expertly handled lead abatement, removing the old, flaking siding. Then, with the hard work of Habitat volunteers, new vinyl siding was installed, and the trim received a fresh coat of paint.
“We were thrilled to complete this stunning transformation for and would like to thank Lowes for providing funding to support this work to make it easier and safer for Frank to remain in his home,” said Hilary Parker, Habitat for Humanity of Dane County CEO. “Frank can now enjoy a safer and more comfortable home!”
The funding from Lowe’s is part of a two-year, $6 million donation to Habitat for Humanity International to support home repair and preservation efforts in owner-occupied homes. This year, funding will enable 110 local Habitat affiliates to complete 295 projects and impact nearly 700 families across the U.S. Since 2003, Lowe’s and Habitat have worked together to help more than 18,000 people build or improve a place to call home.
