N-CHS - CTE construction program collaborates with DSS Senior Sevices to support seniors with necessary home repairs for access and safety. This home needed a small ramp for handicapped access. The homeowner purchased the materials and N-CHS students completed the build. In situations where the homeowner cannot purchase necessary building materials, N-CHS is a building partner of Habitat for Humanity's home repair program funded by the United Way. The home repair program can help provide the materials for the student build. This collaboration creates access and safety for our seniors while our high school students practice a skilled trade through community service. #groundedandgrowing #livingunited #828isgreat #serve #collaboration #community
