Best Answer

This type of repair will usually get better results if you try local places, especially places near your residence.

You should try asking for help at a near by church as they will many times have someone that could help you do the installation but you may have to buy the item yourself.
Churches will usually try to help someone even if they are not a member of their church.
You will probably find that going through a large organization like HUD and other government agencies will be a big problem as there are strict qualifying procedures and investigations as well as a problem with so many requests for assistance.

Even if you were to qualify you would be placed on a list that may take several months to reach your spot.
If you are a senior or a vet you may be able to contact one of these agencies in your area and they may help you find help.
You say you are disabled and if you are receiving any type of government assistance then that agency may have a list of places for you to contact.
If there is a Habitat for Humanity office in your area it is possible they would be able to help you.
You can find and contact one of their offices through their web site.

You could contact HUD.org, Habitat for Humanity, or a local church.
