Worksite Agreement

Gateway Housing Service Project (GHSP) is a 100% volunteer organization whose mission is to build ramps, install grab bars and make minor home renovations for people in need. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization operating exclusively from donations. Without the donations of gracious, caring individuals and organizations, your project would not be possible. The average ramp build costs around $500 to $1200 in materials. We encourage everyone that is able to help pay it forward by making a donation of any size to GHSP in order to help the next person in need of a ramp or home modification.  

 

All of the following is discussed at time of initial contact (email or phone call).:

• We will conduct an initial home modification and ask you to sign off on our projected plan.
• We will draw up plans, have utilities marked (if necessary) and request permits (as needed).
• We will contact you to set up a date for building/installing.
• We will show up with a team of adult and youth volunteers to complete the project.
• If you have any questions, please contact us at info@ghsphome.org
