AmeriCorps VISTA WRAP Specialist

WRAP has one key program: to restore safe home access for Linn County residents who face the loss of freedom due to physical challenges. We provide design and construction of ADA-compliant ramps, modified steps, and handrails at a reduced price to those residents. To successfully support the delivery of safe home access, WRAP: supplies clients with possible funding resource options for their follow-up; conducts site visits and client interviews to determine best possible solutions; designs home access options that meets the clients’ needs and expectations; provides a list of materials to be ordered; establishes cost effective business relationships with local suppliers; recruits and trains capable, reliable and efficient volunteers for construction; constructs solid, ADA compliant ramps and other home access devices; conducts 30-day follow up Customer Satisfaction Surveys on ramp construction and client experiences; offers repair service for WRAP-built and other home access construction; provides service in a timely manner; and markets the service so it becomes widely known to those in need.
