Housing Greesboro fixes up Dillard St. Home

Earlier this week on my way back to my house I saw two trucks, a bunch of teenagers, and a few adults scurrying about mowing the lawn, fixing steps, cleaning out the crawl space and other minor repairs to a home on Dillard St. I took the opportunity to go chat with them and found out it is an organization called Housing Greensboro. This non-profit organization (as reported in today's News & Record) has recently completed repairing its 100th home in Greensboro. The man I spoke to at the site said he believes at least 3 of these have been in the Glenwood neighborhood and that this is one of their target locations. They focus on providing repairs to the elderly and low-income homeowners at no cost. In this case, the homeowner is an elderly widow who suffered some water damage from the 8" rain storm a few weeks back, including ruining her water heater. I can imagine there are many homes in Glenwood that would qualify for their assistance. If you know of someone who does, let them know about Housing Greensboro.
