An ordinance was approved to appropriate $30,000 from District 15 Neighborhood Development Funds. These funds, administered through the Office of Housing and Community Development, are allocated to New Directions Repair Affair. The purpose is to provide home repairs for qualifying elderly or disabled low-income residents within District 15. The program supports critical home maintenance, including yardwork, gutter cleaning, handrails, painting, minor carpentry, plumbing, electrical, new roofs, HVAC, windows, siding, bathroom remodels, and wheelchair ramp construction, to help residents stay in their homes.
