September's throwback posts in 2020 were dedicated to AIM's Housing Program. This department assists low-income homeowners to remain in their homes by providing ramps and other necessary repairs that may threaten the health and safety of residents. We coordinate with several church groups, civic organizations, and clubs in our area to build ramps and make any necessary minor repairs to qualified applicants. We work to match clients in need with the resources and labor needed to make these improvements, enabling them to become and remain self-sufficient.
