Rehabilitation one way to beat housing cost
Rehabilitation offers an inexpensive option for homeowners who cannot afford new homes. Bob Page, rehabilitation supervisor, told the Board of Health that the city assists eligible homeowners in five neighborhoods with grants and loans. Since 1970 about 350 homes have been rehabilitated, from kitchens to roofs. Homeowners can contact Page for information on the program. In other business, City Manager Dale Helsel said finances prevent hiring a third sanitarian for health inspections due to higher workloads.
