Greetings!

Energy Efficient Upgrades for Rentals Continue to Resonate with Funders and Residents
|
Brian Devlin, Director of Rental Services, reported to visitors from TD Bank, that "using primarily grant funds, we have, to date, been able to upgrade 112 homes for almost 300 low income residents. The benefit to the residents is a reduced rent burden (rent + utilities) and the benefit to the agency is a better and longer lasting housing product made possible without debt." One of our residents reported a heating bill that was 50% lower than last year.

VPQ Fund / Upgrades for Public Space
|
Imagine the wear and tear on your family rec room if you had over 500 people regularly visiting you each year. The Green Room at St. Ambrose sees at least that much traffic - monthly workshops, Board and Staff meetings, community gatherings and just recently, a visit from Congressman Sarbanes and his staff.
It is our primary public meeting place and it is begging for an extreme makeover. The first use of the Vinnie P. Quayle Fund will be to spruce up our public spaces.
This is the "before." Stay tuned for the "after."
