🌟 A Story of Resilience and Renewal! 🏡✨ Arbor Hill Development Corporation is honored to share a touching tale of transformation and support. Meet our remarkable 83-year-old widow, facing a home plagued by no heat, water damage, and mold. In the midst of challenges, we rallied together, securing grants for renovations, fixing her heating system, and catching up on heating bills through our Home Maintenance Security Grant (details at https://buff.ly/3u4hinC). 🛠️❤️ Partnering with New York's Home Energy Assistance Program, we brought warmth to her home and heart.

But our commitment goes beyond repairs; we're working to bring her mortgage current after nearly a year of delinquency, by applying retroactive COVID-19 relief, renegotiating new terms to fit her new reality after losing her husband of 60 years and securing Albany Elderly Rehabilitation Program (AERP) grants to revitalize her second unit. 🏠💙 Collaborating with a realtor, we aim to find her qualified tenants, offering her additional financial stability beyond her limited social security benefits.

This is more than a home makeover; it's a testament to community empowerment. Explore the impact we make at https://buff.ly/3MtragD. Together, we build homes and futures! 🌳💪 (before and after pics below)
