Caroline is a small town with a unique character and strong sense of community. It's a town where people care about others, where community events are a big part of community life. We're located just southeast of the Town of Ithaca. The area is made up of beautiful rolling hills, farms, and several small communities. The Town of Caroline is home to more State forest land than any other town in Tompkins County.

Small Home Repairs for Seniors & Disabled
If you, your loved ones or friends are Senior Citizens or Disabled and need home repairs, Better Housing for Tompkins County may be able to help!
Better Housing for Tompkins County Inc. has a program designed to assist seniors and disabled people with safety and accessibility issues in their homes. These issues could include a need for grab bars in the bathroom or assessing and repairing trip hazards such as dangerous flooring or adding lighting where needed.
The homeowner pays for the materials, and Better Housing for Tompkins County provides assessment and labor. If you are unable to pay for the cost of materials, we may be able to provide referrals or solutions to help with this.
Our Repair Coordinator will complete a 10-point inspection on the dwelling, assess needs, estimate costs, and discuss options with the home owner. He will also check for and when needed provide smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. In order to receive assistance you must own your home.
For information or referral, call BHTC at (607) 273-2187 ext. 201 or email us at progassist@betterhousingtc.org
