Housing Repairs

RAIL currently hosts a variety of groups and organizations that take part in our housing repair program for impoverished and elderly members of the community. The housing repair program has successfully improved and repaired hundreds of homes for Wyoming County residents since its inception in 2001.

To find homes in need of repairs, citizens who need aid apply to RAIL to have a crew go to their homes and do assorted work. Some of the groups rip out flooring and replace it, others re-roof houses. Following the flood of 2001, several work crews came in and helped out with this project. Housing repair remains one of the more popular programs for volunteer groups who come to Mullens.

If your group is interested in volunteering to improve the quality of life of rural Appalachian citizens through RAIL's housing repair program, please contact Linda Stockbauer at lstockbauer@railwv.org or call 304-294-6188.
