If you are having financial difficulty keeping your home fixed up, or you know of a neighbor that is having such difficulty, be sure to inquire about the program described in the flyer below. This program will make repairs free of charge under the circumstances described in the flyer, and it applies throughout the City of Renton.

I believe this housing assistance program may be an essential ingredient in upgrading older neighborhoods in Renton Highlands. But I think we may wish to supplement it with city spending on sidewalks and landscape (such as street trees). And it’s been suggested that we may wish to implement low-interest or deferred payment loans that would allow lower-income residents to get assistance with new roofs, siding, windows, paint or landscape improvements. We have $1.5 million dollars set aside for Renton Highlands revitalization…should we use this money as loan capitol for this type of program? I would like to hear your thoughts….
