Since its inception in 2013, The Senior Home Repair Program has provided hundreds of essential home repairs for seniors in Preble County. The intent of this program is to utilize local volunteers along with monetary and material donations to complete Senior home repairs/modifications.

The need for this type of program in the County was evidenced in the 2013 Preble County Consolidated Plan where it was noted that: more than 50% of the homes are owned by individuals age 60 or older; more than 33% of our population is in the extremely low to moderate-income levels and; over 44% of our housing stock was built prior to 1960.
