*Goodwill* Housing Outreach & Volunteer Coordination VISTA
 
 
 
Join Age Friendly Windham & Sebago Lakes Region Fuller Center for Housing as they collaborate with other local organizations to provide programming that can increase safety and energy efficiency for low-income and elderly residents in the Sebago Lakes Region of Maine! Age Friendly Windham (AFW) is a committee of dedicated volunteers working to help members of the community to live and age in place. AFW is dedicated to supporting the independence of our town’s residents and helping them thrive. The mission of the Sebago Lakes Region Fuller Center for Housing is to do home repairs for low-income seniors and veterans. This is a vulnerable population who want to stay in their homes but oftentimes do not have the financial ability or family members to help. Fuller Center supports poor and very poor families. We qualify families using HUD guidelines and select on the basis of (1) need, (2) willingness to partner, and (3) ability to repay through our Greater Blessings program.
