Get A Free Toilet Installed - A New Initiative With Broward Water Partnership And Minority Builders Coalition

The collaboration supports BWP’s ongoing goal to promote water conservation and environmental stewardship, while also aligning with the Minority Builders Coalition’s efforts to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of seniors in Broward County. The initiative is a part of BWP's larger Conservation Pays program and the "Each Drop Counts" awareness campaign, both of which focus on raising awareness of water conservation and sustainable practices. By eliminating the financial hurdle of installation costs, the program ensures that seniors can easily access the benefits of water conservation and reduced utility bills.

“The partnership between the Broward Water Partnership and the Minority Builders Coalition allows senior citizens the opportunity to lower their utility bills, minimize their environmental impact and helps to create a more sustainable future for Broward County. We are excited that this partnership will assist in reaching our senior community educating the importance of water conservation,” said Monica Pognon, Director of Broward County’s Natural Resources Division.

The Minority Builders Coalition’s "Home Touch" program addresses the growing challenges many seniors face in maintaining their homes. A significant number of senior residents in Broward County struggle to keep up with household repairs, with low-income and minority seniors facing the greatest challenges.

"Home repairs can be challenging to seniors with restricted incomes, disabilities, and no one to call. Too many seniors choose to delay or forego critical repairs, which can make it hazardous for them to remain in their own homes. Our staff are ready to assist so that our elders can be safe and comfortable in the homes they know and love.” said Brian C. Johnson, President & CEO, Minority Builders Coalition.
