Check with AARP.  They help seniors find work.  Ask your local Workforce Development Office for a number.  Or look in the phone book.

I am not from Houston but could you look in the phone book and see if there is a Habitat for Humanity listed? Perhaps they can help you. Also, if you attend a church, perhaps your minister could ask for volunteers to come over to help do some home repairs and painting etc. There are many retired folks still in good health that may just have the time and desire to  be of service. Also look under Senior Services in the phone book as well under the city or country that you are living and call them. They can give you some leads. I know what a fixed income is, believe me!!! Good luck and I hope you can get some help. Oh, one more thought....call the High School closest to you and ask if there are any groups at school such as The Student Counsil or kids that are taking woodshop classes that could help you. It never hurts to ask. All they can say is, "No" so let's hope there is help out there for you.

I would start with physical therapy departments at the hospitals in your area.  Some hospitals offer classes about proper body mechanics.  also the educational department at some hospitals might have information/classes on caring for people with Alzheimers.

Funding from the City Hall but only after you and those who come to your community meetings press for it and have a solid community backing. It's done all the time where I live. They even plant rose gardens for us because Seniors went to City Hall and pressed for them. I know. Too much huh? Sneaky seniors .Don't forhet they were Hippies at one time.

Definitely speak with your Doctor's office because there are many agencies available to seniors for medical equipment.  You could also contact Department of the Aging.

sates usually have grants to provide for the overhaul of older buildings.\n the hitch is you have to own it to qualify.\nif you own the building you live in, get in touch with your local city or town hall and ask about federal grants to make an older house handicap accessible.\nyou might be surprised, maybe you can luck out.\nthis may sound a bit off the wall, but it works.\ncall the governor's office.( you'll might be asked where to direct your call) don't be afraid, as for the commission of disabilities. it may not have the same name, the function is.\nit is federally run. that office might be able to direct you on what to do, or where to go next.\nin ma. and ri. the senate is involved mostly with the Judaical part of the government. the congress with being able to use the laws to implement them for the public.\nif you can't get a reasonable answer at your first stop, buck up, call the district rep's office to question about federal grants for your needs./ if you don't ownit see if there is a progam you'd qualfy for any way.\ngiving advise for another state is always placing your feet on shaky ground.\ni'm not from ca. so i as of yet don't know what an earthquake is.\n( shake hands on hurricanes! )

I recently retired from the Park Service, and can tell you my favorite seasonal employees were those over 50.    The NPS web page related to employment has great information.  Each individual park, historic site, etc. controls their own housing.  In some parks housing is a lottery system for permanent employees only, and in others housing is only available to seasonal and volunteer workers.  Some "dorms" are actually houses with several bedrooms and you may get a room to yourself which is very nice.  Others are more primitive.  Believe me, the range is huge.  I served two federal agencies as a Housing Manager, and can tell you the main theme of any available housing is "clean, safe and decent".  Additionally, there are almost 100 associations and friend's groups  (you can read about them at Association of Partners for Public Lands) which hire employees to work at information desks and do book sales.\n  I've included Grand Canyon Association's link, as a "for instance".\n  Good luck and have a great, enriching time!

Well, the Section 8 that I'm familiar with is government housing assistance. So, I'd start by  Googling HUD (Housing & Urban Development). You can contact the state's Chamber of Commerce, or a municipality's chamber of commerce. You can also look up a state senator or assemblyman there and ask someone in their office for logistical help.
