Torrance Home Improvement Program Helps Seniors and Disabled Residents

Torrance residents who are seniors or disabled may have a helpful city resource available for home safety and basic repairs.

The City of Torrance Home Improvement Program, also known as HIP, is a free program for qualified senior and disabled residents who own and occupy a single-family home within Torrance city limits. The program is designed to help eligible residents make their homes safer, more accessible, and more livable.

Services may include accessibility upgrades such as wheelchair ramps, staircase handrails, and grab bars. The program may also help with light plumbing, leaky faucets, broken windows and screens, locks, rodent proofing, trash removal, and other minor repairs.

Eligibility rules apply, including age, disability, ownership, occupancy, and income requirements. For many families, this is the kind of quiet city program that can make a real difference at home.
