Help for Homes is a service provided in Brighton, Colorado to low-income senior and disabled homeowners who need exterior home repairs, painting, and yard work and cannot afford a commercial company to provide these services. For the past four years, professionals in SEH’s Rocky Mountain offices (Colorado and Wyoming) have rallied to volunteer with Help for Homes, providing free labor and optimism.

The team is led by SEH Traffic Engineer Jon Larson, PE.

This May, a team of 12 SEH professionals helped two homeowners with outdoor improvements. Tasks included fence and gate repair, gutter repair, and lots of gardening and yard work. One of the homeowners the SEH team assisted was a 90-year-old woman who had planted extensive flower beds when she was younger, but was no longer able to keep them up. Our team helped restore them to their former beauty.

Since 2006, Help for Homes has assisted more than 100 homeowners in Brighton. Volunteers from around the community and metro area  form teams to work on the homes each spring.
