Candita, a recipient of one of our Home Upgrade Grants (HUG), shares her experience with our program—one of many reminders of how critical home repairs are for our neighbors.
Too often, families in our community are left struggling with the high costs of maintaining a safe and livable home. No one should have to endure freezing winters, poor air quality, or hazardous living conditions simply because home repairs are out of reach.
Candita joined the HUG program hoping to winterize her home. After contractors helped with insulation, she not only experienced a warmer home but also noticed improved air circulation and a significant reduction in the mold smell that had been lingering in her basement.
Her story is one of many that highlight the urgent need for programs like HUG. MHET is working hard to ensure families can live in safe, healthy homes and that Kingston remains a place where residents don’t have to choose between everyday expenses and essential home repairs.
