HOUSING & UTILITIES

 

CHIP

Under CHIP's (Community Housing Improvement Project) auspices, both professional and volunteer carpenters perform a wide range of home improvements, such as: repairing leaky windows, doors and roofs; winterizing-that is, doing weather-stripping and adding insulation; fixing unsafe stairs, exposed wiring, and broken windows; making plumbing repairs; constructing wheelchair ramps and entry ways. CHIP also provides fuel assistance during the winter months, and acts as a clearinghouse for furniture and major appliances, which are then given to those who need them.
