PROGRAMS & PROJECTS.
As we gain sponsors and volunteers, our projects will grow to address the needs of our community. We will work collaboratively with existing agencies to achieve our mission. Revitalizing our neighborhoods shall make our community more attractive and desirable to all demographics.
Home Repairs
We will provide a variety of services to upgrade the exterior of a home to improve curb appeal, and reduce the risk of structural damage. During the winter months we focus our efforts on emergency home repairs.
Landscaping Upgrades
Each project will include landscaping upgrades, which could include trimming, planting and hardscape.
Reducing Code Violations
As we grow our sponsors and funds, we will be able to assist home owner with repairs that will eliminate repeated City Administrative Court for code violations.
Teaching the Next Generation
We want to engage youth in understanding the benefits and responsibilities of home ownership. We will be teaching the skills that could lead to pursuing a career in the trades. In 2020 Heartland Academy partnered with us to upgrade porches and clean landscapes.
Spring and Fall Clean-ups
Engaging the entire community to do more to clean-up each spring and fall.
