With a rapidly growing populationas of 2023, approximately 12.5% of Utahns are 65 or oldera significant portion of this demographic lives in older homes that may not meet current safety and efficiency standards. This need is amplified during the winter months when heating demand rises sharply, making it critical to ensure that homes are equipped to handle extreme temperatures.
Many elderly residents in Utah, especially those in rural areas, struggle to afford necessary home repairs that enhance safety features and improve energy efficiency.
