Painters spread joy in Wellington Heights blitz
Dozens of volunteers from Cedar Valley Habitat for Humanity run a five day exterior painting blitz in Wellington Heights Cedar Rapids beginning Tuesday. The program A Brush with Kindness helps homeowners who cannot afford work on large aging houses with sweat equity and shared costs. Since 2010 the group has worked on 60 homes, changing the neighborhood face alongside planned efforts by the Affordable Housing Network and Thrivent Financial. Local leaders note declining crime and rising property values as homes shift back to owner occupancy.
