LBS HOME: OUR NEW HOME REPAIR ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

In collaboration with the City of Laguna Beach and Habitat for Humanity OC , Laguna Beach Seniors has launched LBS HOME.  Our goal is to help older homeowners on limited incomes make essential repairs that promote health, safety, and accessibility. LBS is processing applications and conducting home needs assessments, and Habitat OC will implement the repairs with financial support from the City, up to a maximum of $5,000 per project.
