Before and after
Common questions
How do I apply?
Call 903-237-1070, or download the application (PDF), fill it out, and return it by mail or by email to ConnectLgvw@gmail.com.
Does it cost anything?
No. There is no cost to the homeowner. Volunteers give their time, and gifts to Connect Longview pay for materials.
What happens after I apply?
A committee reviews your application. If it is approved, a Connect Longview representative contacts you to talk about the project and set a workday with you.
What do you ask of homeowners?
You or an adult family member are home the whole time volunteers are working. Clear the work area of personal items before the crew arrives and keep pets secured.
What if I do not qualify, or the job is too big?
We will tell you, and we may refer you to another local agency that can help. Other agencies may ask for their own application.
Is the work guaranteed?
No. Work is done by volunteers, so it is not guaranteed and does not come with a warranty.
Will photos be taken of my home?
The application asks permission to include your property in photos and video. We never publish a homeowner's name or address.
