Homeowner Repair Program

Margo Maxwell discovered the Meridian Homeowner Repair Program at a time when she needed it the most. The hottest day of the year, 105 degrees and her furnace went out with a quote to replace it from $8,000- $25,000.

Margo, being the home base for 35 grandchildren, knows how important home is and how important it is to make it welcoming and livable. She is known in the community for being a good neighbor to those that need a friend or a place to stay. She has rented out her basement to her niece. She even let one of her friends live in her camper in the parking lot for a few months. She hosts ladies' nights, family gatherings and is always welcoming with open arms.

"I am lucky enough to have it, so I give it back," Margo says.

NeighborWorks not only replaced the furnace, they also replaced door fixtures, the showerhead and the fence. Things that she had needed to be repaired and wasn't able to on her own.
