Habitat launches A Brush with Kindness

Habitat for Humanity of the Greater Teton Area has launched a program called A Brush with Kindness to provide exterior home repairs to qualifying low-income homeowners. Improvements include exterior painting, landscaping and other minor repairs. Labor is offered at no cost but homeowners are responsible for the cost of materials. Habitat can offer interest-free financing for homeowners who are unable to pay for the cost of repairs up front. This program will be offered through October 2010. Applications will be reviewed on the first Tuesday of each month.

If you or anyone you know might be interested in this program call the Habitat office at 307-734-0828, email info@tetonhabitat.org or go to the A Brush with Kindness page for more information and application.
