That sentence, in plain words

One kind of repair makes a home fit to live in. It fixes broken things and things that are unsafe. Another kind cuts the energy and water a home uses.

What this is about

The third kind is about getting around the home. It covers grab bars, ramps, and wider doors. Those help older people and people with disabilities.
