The mission of Heart to Heart is to assist our neighborhoods with basic home repairs.

 

• The first goal of this ministry is to facilitate repairs that, if left unattended, would pose a threat to a family’s health and safety.
• The second goal is to facilitate a blitz repair month once a year pending finding volunteer groups willing to assist with this effort.

What does a homeowner need to do in order to participate in this program?

• In case of an emergency, call Koinonia Partners, Inc. at 924-0391 and indicate the nature of the problem. We will dispatch the first available person to assess the problem.
• If Koinonia can repair the problem, we will do so for the cost of the materials – no charge for labor.
• The homeowner may purchase the materials or may give the money to Koinonia to purchase them. Koinonia will supply receipts for the materials purchased and return any unused monies to the homeowner. If additional materials are needed to do the job over the original estimate, Koinoina will proceed only after getting the homeowner’s permission and the additional funds needed.
• Homeowner agrees to put in “sweat equity,” i.e., help with the repairs in whatever ways they are capable.
• If Koinonia does not have the skill or the licensed technician to do the work, we will refer the homeowner to someone who does.
• To help be a part of a blitz repair month, a homeowner registers a description of the work by filling out a form and submitting it to the Koinonia business office.
• When volunteer groups are identified and the month set for the blitz, a job schedule will be established and a cost estimate made.
• Again, the homeowners may purchase the materials or may give the money to Koinonia to purchase them. Koinonia will supply receipts for the materials purchased and return any unused monies to the homeowner. Only those jobs with materials bought in advance can go on the job schedule. As above, if additional materials are needed to do the job over the original estimate, Koinoina will proceed only after getting the homeowner’s permission and the additional monies needed from them.
• Homeowner agrees to put in “sweat equity,” i.e., help with the repairs in whatever ways they are capable.

What if repairs are needed and the homeowner can’t afford to pay for them?

• Koinonia will raise funds restricted for the Heart to Heart ministry.
• A homeowner may fill out an application for these funds.
• Koinonia abilities to assist will be based on how many funds are available.
