“I am really enjoying my new home!!!! I just can’t believe that this is the same house”, stated a homeowner in Perkins County who benefited from the collaboration of the Making Homes Accessible (MHA) Program, USDA-Rural Development (USDA-RD) Housing Rehabilitation, Southwest Nebraska Community Betterment Corporation (SWNCBC) Owner-occupied Housing Rehabilitation, and the Weatherization Assistance Program (WX). By working together these agencies were able to provide the following improvements to his home:- New roof and gutters (SWNCBC)
- Vinyl siding (SWNCBC)
- New windows and doors (SWNCBC)
- Electrical upgrades (USDA-RD)
- Plumbing upgrades (MHA)
- New furnace (WX) with central air conditioning (USDA-RD)
- Water heater replacement (USDA-RD)
- Kitchen cabinets with under counter storage, and a sink and faucet (SWNCBC)
- New flooring in the kitchen, living room and one bedroom (MHA)
- Replacement of the bathtub with a handicap accessible shower unit (MHA)
- Attic and sidewall insulation (WX)
- Ramp to the front door for accessibility (MHA)
This elderly gentleman who will now be able to remain in his home safely and comfortably was very grateful for all of the assistance he received. In a Thank You note, he stated, “This would never have been possible without all of you. I just want you to know how much I appreciate all of the time, effort and financial assistance. Thank you very, very much.”
