What you will learn

Module 01

Home Health Checkup

Duration: 30-40 minutes

Start with a gentle, room‑by‑room look at how your home is doing. This module guides you through a &qout;Home Health Checkup" where you note signs of leaks, moisture, electrical issues, structural concerns, accessibility barriers, and energy‑wasting problems. You'll use a simple checklist and short explanations to mark what you see without needing technical knowledge.

Home inspection and planning
Module 02

Simple, Safe Tasks You Can Do

Duration: 25-35 minutes

Not every issue needs a contractor. In this module, you'll learn a few basic, low‑risk tasks many homeowners can safely handle, such as testing smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, learning where key shut‑off valves are, and sealing small drafts around windows or doors.

Learning about available help
Module 03

DIY, Pro, or Program Support?

Duration: 30-40 minutes

Finally, you'll learn how to decide what to do when new problems show up. This module presents real‑life scenarios—like a leaking roof, flickering lights, or a broken step—and asks whether they belong in the "DIY," "hire a pro," or "seek assistance" bucket. Get guidance for each scenario, along with examples of programs that may help with serious or expensive repairs.
