Interest thus far has been minimal in a new program through the DeWitt County chapter of Habitat for Humanity, but leaders hope to turn that around in 2017.
Last year, Habitat introduced locally the national program, A Brush with Kindness. Rick Heath with Habitat says A Brush with Kindness can a number of smaller scale projects for local homeowners.
Like the home building program through Habitat, the Brush with Kindness is an income based eligibility, however, Heath points out there is a lot of wiggle room and he says the best thing to do is just inquire with someone in your neighborhood involved with Habitat.
Heath indicates anyone who applies for a project, they must own the home.
For more information about a project at your home and to inquire with Habitat for Humanity, their Re-Store location at East Washington Street is open Saturday's from 8 am to noon. Applications are available there and Habitat volunteers can answer any questions at that time as well.
