Help With Home Improvements

Blogger's Note: The following exciting announcement comes to the Digital Notebook in-box in the form of a press release from our friends at Genesis Housing. We regretfully note that the Digital Notebook industrial complex lies outside the area available for improvement grants, but bravely bring you the information nonetheless.

Genesis Housing Corporation is pleased to announce a new Pottstown Home Improvement Program to provide funds for home repairs.

Through a grant provided to Genesis Housing Corporation by National Penn Bank, the new program offers small dollar grants and/or small dollar, low interest loans to resident homeowners meeting the eligibility requirements for owner-occupied properties located within the targeted neighborhoods. 

Examples of eligible work are roofs, windows, heaters, sewer lines, electrical upgrades and other general home repairs.
Window replacements are among the upgrades the program will fund.

Genesis Housing Corporation will review applications from all interested homeowners living in the target areas for eligibility. 

Grants (generally capped at $4,000) will be offered to qualified applicants who need single system repairs like a new heater but are unable to afford the repair or replacement of the system. 

Loans may be used for any home improvement project. There is no home equity required. 

The eligible Pottstown neighborhoods are:
  • Schuylkill River to High St, Manatawny St. to Washington St.; 
  • High St. to Beech St., Manatawny St. to Warren St.; and 
  • Beech St to Wilson St., Hanover St. / Farmington to Adams St. 
Applications are available by calling 610-275-4357, or on our website at www.genesishousing.org or via email at info@genesishousing.org.

  1. I note with interest (about 3.5-percent, fixed) that the former "Digital Notebook Industrial Compound" (isn't that what they used to call the Goop-brand hand cleaner?), mentioned in Saturday's blog, has gone upscale in today's post to become the "Digital Notebook Industrial Complex." I can only hope you're charging higher rates, Brandt, to be worthy of this rarified air. And ... pssst! ... beware of those borough property inspectors. You're sure to attract their attention now.
