The widow of a postal employee, Lillie has kept up the Cleveland Heights home she has lived in for 44 years, but her income wouldn&#8217;t stretch far enough to cover the cost of rebuilding the front corner of the porch, constructing new supports, and installing a new floor over the entire porch deck.<\/p>\n<p>Wesley Walker, HRRC&#8217;s Senior Repair Specialist, recalls, &#8220;This became a true collaborative effort. The City of Cleveland Heights contributed funds from their Violation Repair Program, HRRC used one of our Senior Grants, and Lillie contributed a significant portion herself. By pooling all these resources, Lillie was able to get the repair done.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>HRRC&#8217;s help didn&#8217;t stop at providing funds, however. Lillie appreciated Wesley&#8217;s assistance in getting estimates from contractors, evaluating the bids, managing the work, and reviewing the completed project before payment was made.\u00a0HRRC&#8217;s\u00a0support left Lillie feeling more confident about the whole process.<\/p>\n<p>Homeowners of all ages can take advantage of HRRC&#8217;s financial assistance programs, but seniors get special attention through our Senior Repair Program.
