Rebuilding Macon helps low-income, elderly and disabled homeowners meet challenges by installing grab bars, wheelchair ramps, installing roll-in shower stalls, and creating easier access to rooms. Rebuilding Macon partners with community volunteers to revitalize neighborhoods, assuring that low-income homeowners, particularly those who are elderly and disabled, may continue to live in warmth, safety, and independence.
