Flooring Replacement Programs for Low Income Seniors?

We need help replacing the flooring in our condo, we live in southern Nevada. I've talked to several agencies Rebuilding Together, Habitat for Humanity, and more. None of them knew where to refer us to, but they said the did know there was help here just did not know who could help us. We're on a limited income and can't afford much if anything at all. We're both seniors in our 60s on Social Security with some health problems. What resources do we have here in Las Vegas, Nevada? No one seems to know. Are there any federal programs for seniors with a limited income.

Sending up prayers that you find a solution. This is a challenge no matter where you live. There are programs, but many have crazy criteria, long waits and all kinds of restrictions. I hope one will work for you!! The links to what I located are below as well as another suggestion:

The other suggestion is to set up a go fund me request for your situation. Friends or family may want to help you but not know how. This site lets you set up the request and ask for help.

People can be quite generous. We used this service for a friend in crisis and it helped tremendously. You have a computer and if you are on social media like Facebook you can get the plea out there.

Prayers for a solution!

One problem is that replacing flooring, almost like replacing roofing is very expensive and would take a huge chunk out of any of these agency's budget. That would mean for one benefit like yours they may be able to help 20 less expensive jobs.

  • I guess that I am having a problem trying to visualize what could be wrong with flooring in a condo? Did something happen that caused a problem with the flooring or are you speaking of replacing carpet?
  • Trying to get help with repairs in a condo presents almost the same problem as trying to get work done on a mobile home. Most agencies will not approve the application.
  • I assume you own (or buying) your condo?
  • I am curious as to why Habitat and Rebuilding Together turned you down. Can you state the reason they gave you?
  • I believe whatever reason they gave will follow through with other agencies so you may not be able to find anyone willing to help you.
  • You can try the agencies that Pghgirl listed and hopefully one of them will help but they may just try to find a contractor that will do the work with you paying the cost - but maybe they will do a long term loan.
