Operation Give and Save

Prosperity North Carolina adopts a deeper and long-term focus at the community level. Building a Healthy community within each county is a partnership between Prosperity North Carolina, residents and community stakeholders to revitalize communities with safe, healthy, affordable, homes and community spaces that are accessible for all. We make a multiyear commitment to target communities or areas, and coordinate with partner organizations to improve the health and safety of homes and strengthen community infrastructure through the revitalization of parks, schools, community centers and nonprofit facilities.

 

The Elderly 

​

According to AARP, nearly 80% of older adults would prefer to stay in their current homes as long as possible. Most of the existing housing stock in the United States is not designed to accommodate the physical and cognitive changes that come with age.

Prosperity North Carolina provides home modifications for older adults and people with disabilities to improve accessibility, reduce falls, increase independence and facilitate aging-in-place. Prosperity North Carolina's "Operation Give and Save" is designed to improve aging-in-place outcomes for low-income older adults through the modification of their home environment to meet their specific needs.

    Veterans 

​

Operation Give and Save serves veterans and their families through "Veterans at Home". Too many Americans who once wore our nation’s uniform, and sacrificed for our country, now live in substandard housing and are at severe risk of "houselessness". The need for sustainable, safe and healthy housing for veterans is dire. Veterans at Home provides home modifications and repairs to veterans and their families to improve safety and accessibility, increase independence and facilitate aging-in place.
