NeighborLink Indianapolis(NLI) is a nonprofit organization that provides free home repairs and related services to low-income seniors and individuals with disabilities who own their own home and live in Marion County. We rely on volunteer help and donated or low cost services so that there is no cost to the homeowner to help them age in place safely and independently.
We often have requests for repairs that fall outside the scope of general volunteer abilities and can use the support of those with more specific knowledge/experience, particularly in the areas of plumbing, electrical, gutters, residential construction, drywalling and general handyman/woman repairs.
The work is flexible and you can choose to work on as many or as few repairs as your time allows.
If you're looking for a way to share your talents to give back to the community while being able to see the immediate impact of your work, we'd be happy to talk to you about NLI. We can even set up an opportunity for you to accompany a NLI team member on a project to see if you like the work.
With interest and/or questions, contact us at: volunteer@nlindy.org

Mission Statement
NeighborLink Indianapolis mission is to help older adults and individuals with disabilities who own their own homes age in place safely and with dignity. We do this by providing home repair at no cost to the homeowner.
Description
We focus on home repairs that enable the homeowner to age in place safely, stabilize the home for years to come, and provide an improved appearance for the neighborhood at large. Many of the repairs we provide would be able to be done by the homeowner if they had the means or physical ability. By using volunteers we are able to help the homeowner as well as provide that intimate experience of truly being the hands and able-body for someone else.
Most older adults want to age in the most affordable home-the one they own. Aging in place allows older adults some level of autonomy and dignity over their own health and decisions. It allows many to remain within communities they’ve been a part of for decades. Social determinants of health, particularly including the ability to keep their home safe and accommodating to their physical needs, are among some of the most challenging barriers to aging in place.
