Later this summer, twelve veterans will receive help from Rebuilding Together Hartford and LSNI to fix up their homes.

According to Steve Frank of Hartford’s Livable and Sustainable Neighborhoods Initiative, there are over 1000 veterans who own homes in Hartford. Fifty of those properties were determined to be eligible for assistance. That means owner-occupied, current on taxes, and there being a need for some fixing of the property.

Three properties in each district will get spruced up, with work beginning in August. About $15,000-20,000 will be spent on each home.
