About us
Handyman Ministries' offered programs
1. Maintenance Program - maintenance and repair to any area that makes a home unsafe, unsanitary or unhealthy for the homeowner.
2. Efficiency Program - perform energy audits to identify excessive energy loss resulting in disproportionate energy bills and provide efficiency upgrades to reduce the homeowner utility expenditures.
3. Home Modification Program - Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant home modifications for the disabled based on the individual's specific needs dictated by their physical condition.
4. The program is designed to assist participants in creating and/or achieving gainful employment by teaching the necessary skills needed to acquire a Michigan State Building Contractor License. TAP is also designed to assist participants in obtaining and sustaining safe permanent housing. Furthermore, Handyman Ministries (HM) has a holistic approach for the success and wellbeing of the participants. TAP offers the apprentices many opportunities to develop the stability, confidence, life and vocation skills needed to be a successful member of society.
