HOME REPAIR PROGRAM POPULAR COMPONENT OF LRDA Senior citizens are par ticularly adversely affected by this steadily deteriorating economic crunch this nation finds itself caught up in. One reason for this is because many of our elder citizens are forced-many times by factors beyond their control-to live on a fixed income. As a result, it many times takes every penny senior citizens can scrape just .to survive. It become a matter a* priorities with them; basics like food and medication of course receive top priority and, more times than not, such necessities as the up keep of the home have to be put on the back burner. Because the upkeep of the home is so often by necessity neglected, there is a high incidence of health and safety hazards in many of the residences of our eldery, es pecially in Robeson County since she is one of the poorest counties in the state. It was for this basic reason Lumbee Regional Development Asso ciation developed its Home Repair Program. The Home Repair crew is comprised of a carpenter, a plumber, an electrician and a brick mason. Ably led by Housing Coordinator Bob De Carlo, the crew performs such home repair jobs as repairing porches that are about to collapse, replacing bathroom floors that are rotted out, replacing broken window panes, repairing roofs that have been leaking-or just about any job that will help eliminate health and safety hazards in the homes of the elderly. Another aspect of LRDA's Home Repair Program is the Weatherization component. The primary objective of this component also is to repair the homes, however emphasis is placed upon doing repairs that will keep the weather out. LRDA allocates up to $200 per home for the purchase of materials. Examples of wea therization jobs would be installation of storm windows and/or doors, patching leak ing roofs, installing insulation when it is possible to do so, reglazing and/or replacing (windows, and the list could go on and on. > For more information about LRDA's Home Repair Pro ? gram call 521-9761 and ask for Bob DeCarlo. , For further information [ concerning the weatherization 'component contact Bobbie Ann Oxendine at 521-9703. ? The Home Repair Program and the Weatherizatiqn Pro ? gram are only two of many ''components comprising what is more commonly known as LRDA (an acronym for Lum bee Regional Development Association, Inc.). How,ever, these two programs prove beyond a doubt that LRDA is concerned about... and LRDA is addressing the health and fccucia* welfare problems of Indians in and around Robe son County. LRDA cares! LRDA shares! (knowledge, expertise, facili ties and resources)! And, yes--LRDA even repairs! Call us today.
