Once you submit a Safe and Healthy Homes Assessment Request form, Hinton Center will be in touch to schedule a time to visit your home. It may take time for us to come to do the assessment. You may contact us to check the status at 828-389-8336 or missions@hintoncenter.org. Hinton Center partners with the community to improve the health and safety of homes. Our volunteer groups are not professionals. Submitting a referral form or having a safe and healthy homes check does not guarantee that Hinton will be able to make needed repairs. While Hinton is at your home, we may take pictures that could be used to promote the mission of Hinton Center. Please notify Hinton Center if there’s any change with your contact information.

If we’re working at a home, other projects may include: yardwork, cleanout/ trash removal, basic gutter cleaning, gardening, window/general cleaning, replacement of light bulbs/ smoke detectors, other small projects, as able. Our work is done by volunteers. It may take a while for us to be able to return to your home. The majority of our groups come in the months of June and July. If the repairs are NOT within the scope of the work we are able to complete, we will do our best to help refer you to other resources. Hinton does NOT do the following types of repairs: roofing, well repair/installation, septic work, foundation work, bathroom renovation, electrical, subflooring, window replacement, downing trees. (If you are a veteran, please call us at 828-389-8336 to inquire about potential grants that may cover these kinds of projects.) After receiving the safe and healthy home check, Hinton may contact you for follow up questions. Much of our funding is from grants, and we appreciate your participation so that we are able to complete reports and help more people in our community. If the repairs are in the scope of the work we are able to complete, please note that to qualify for home repair assistance from Hinton Center… The person should own (not rent) the home / property. It has to be a safe working environment for our groups. There must be financial need (or extenuating circumstances). Our construction coordinator and committee reviews applications and selects appropriate worksites based upon specific criteria, and the skills and preferences of the registered volunteer groups.
