Low income levels increased for

Minor Home Repair

Bloomfield Township residents with low to moderate incomes are eligible to participate in the Minor Home Repair Program.

Effective April 1, 2018 the income levels were increased for qualifying households. Residents must be 60 years of age or older with a gross annual income per household below $39,700 for one person and $44,400 for two persons in the household.

BTSS facilitates the program with funding from Community Developmental Block Grant funds. No fees are payable by homeowners for repairs done through this program. Some examples of projects include repairs to roof, furnace, electrical and plumbing; replacement of water heaters, toilets, and driveways; and removal of architectural barriers or debris.

BTSS staff is available to help residents through the application process and to administer projects through completion. Proof of income is required. Call Denise Kolkmeyer at 248-723-3500.

Support BTSS

The Senior Service Millage is one half of one percent of a BT Tax Dollar and provides only 50% of the BTSS budget. We must generate approximately $750,000 annually to maintain our current level of services.

You can help support BTSS in offering services like Meals on Wheels, our Adult Day Service the Friendship Club and medical transportation.
