Senior Connections, a nonprofit that serves senior citizens in DeKalb and Fulton counties, recently won a $175,000 grant for repairs to the homes of senior veterans or their surviving spouses.

It is the second grant in a row for the group from the Home Depot Foundation for repairs such as new roofs, plumbing work and fixes to heating and cooling systems.
