That old car sitting in your driveway could help a local senior age safely at home.

More than 19 million older Americans live in homes needing critical repairs or accessibility modifications—and many are right here in Calaveras County. High costs often make necessary fixes out of reach, leaving seniors in unsafe conditions.

When you donate an unused vehicle to Habitat’s Cars for Homes program, the proceeds help fund essential repairs, ramp installations, and safety upgrades for local homeowners in our community!

This program accepts: Cars, trucks, RVs, boats, motorcycles, and more.

It’s 100% free: Free towing, fast paperwork, and potential tax deduction benefits for you.

Falls are a leading cause of injury among older adults, but they are entirely preventable. With simple, targeted home safety improvements, we can see a 19% reduction in fall rates—protecting your loved ones and preventing a costly crisis, as the average fall-related hospital stay costs $30,000.

Habitat for Humanity Calaveras is committed to creating safer living environments through essential home modifications that prevent falls and enhance daily living.

Thanks to a generous grant from AARP California , we are not only expanding our local Home Repair program, but we are also sharing the tools you need to secure your own home or a neighbor's space.

The free AARP HomeFit Guide is packed with easy, room-by-room solutions (like grab bars and proper lighting) that turn a house into a safe haven for a lifetime.

Take the first step toward a safer home today. Learn how you can modify your space or access local home repair resources: https://www.aarp.org/livable-communities/housing/info-2020/homefit-guide-download.html
