To qualify for home repair assistance from the Hinton Rural Life 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).

All applications are considered. Please note the following:
· Our construction coordinator selects appropriate worksites based upon specific criteria, and the skills and preferences of the registered volunteer groups.
· The Hinton Center does a variety of repairs, but no roofing.
· Our volunteer groups are not professionals.
· The Hinton Center generally makes repairs in an area of a one-hour drive time radius of Hayesville, North Carolina, within Clay and Cherokee counties (NC) and Towns (GA).
