I am a senior living in Broadview, IL. I am in need of a new roof, but cannot afford it. Is there any help for me?

I live near you. Call your village hall, the township office, and Cook County's senior services department. If you need help with phone numbers, the Broadview Library reference desk has them on hand. Also, while you're talking to a reference librarian, ask your roof question. An area church or volunteer group might be able to help. Please post again to keep us updated.

Do you own your home? A home equity loan might be right for you.

Also, if your roof is needing replacement due to some weather damage, your homeowners insurance may cover it.
