SOOO DELICIOUS!😋✨

Today at the Glenwood Fresh Market, Susan whipped up a Black Bean Enchilada Casserole for our market members! It's a layered dish, but the preparation is simple and outlined in the video.

Start by adding enchilada sauce to a deep dish. Then layer corn tortillas, a veggie and black bean mix, and cheese. Repeat the steps until the dish is full, then bake until the cheese is melted!

For an even healthier option, Susan suggests cooking your own black beans instead of using canned beans to reduce sodium. This dish is vegetarian, but chicken, ground beef, or tofu could be added for extra protein.

We have new sidewalks along Glenwood Avenue and Canfield Road!✨

Both roads are primary walking paths and have not had a large replacement program in decades. YNDC replaced all failing and broken sidewalks on Canfield Road from Glenwood Avenue to Lanterman's Mill, and replaced broken and failing sidewalks on Glenwood Avenue.

Big thanks to the City of Youngstown, Mayor McDowell, Councilman Julius Oliver, Councilwoman Cynthia McWilson, former Councilwoman Anita Davis, former Councilwoman Lauren McNally, Concrete Queen LLC, and all who have supported this effort!

One of our Housing Counseling clients has officially graduated to homeowner!🎉

Martha had been a renter her entire life. In 2020, she decided she wanted to make a change and become a homeowner. Unsure of where to start, she joined our Housing Counseling Program. Martha said her biggest hurdle was improving her credit and eliminating her credit card debt. However, YNDC's Housing Counselor Alex was able to show Martha how to overcome that barrier.

“I thought to pay off the larger ones first, and then work on the smaller ones, but Alex said it was better to get the smaller ones out of the way and then focus on the larger ones. Within a six-month period, I paid off five credit cards."

If you're looking for a clear path to homeownership, YNDC can help! Our Housing Counseling Program guides homebuyers before and after purchase. Call 330.480.0423 to join the program.

A leaking roof can strain any homeowner's budget, and that was almost the case for John before he found YNDC.

John noticed water was leaking through his roof a little over a year ago. Knowing how serious a leak can be, he called an inspector who told him his repairs were going to cost around $15,000. With the cost of repairs, John wasn't sure what his next steps would be.

It was John's coworker who recommended checking out YNDC's home repair program. Thankfully, YNDC was able to replace his roof for FREE. John says he is happy to no longer have the cost of the repair weighing on him.

“I mean, financially, I couldn’t afford the repairs. Plus, I’m not looking to sell my home. So, I’m completely satisfied.”

If you are in need of emergency home repairs, call 330.480.0423 to get more information from our Owner-Occupied Home Repair Program.
