Know Your Home: Safety, Maintenance, and DIY vs. Pro Track
Some problems can wait; others can't. This self‑paced track helps you spot priority issues, tackle simple tasks safely, and know when a repair is too big or risky to handle alone-and when to seek funded help.
Who this track is for
Homeowners who aren't sure what counts as a "serious" issue
People wanting to do basic maintenance but not major repairs
Anyone who wants to connect home problems to possible assistance options
What you will learn
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.
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.
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.
