Hearts & Hammers Twin Cities, Inc. is partnering with the City of Saint Paul this summer by bringing its one-day home-restoration program to two geographic areas of the city’s Community Investment Campus. Inspired by the Harlem Children’s Zone, the Community Investment Campus is an effort to improve student achievement with a holistic focus on education – surrounding students with the tools they need to succeed by working to expand learning time; build community; enhance neighborhoods; and support teachers, students, and their families.
Hearts & Hammers is working directly with the City of Saint Paul the Summit-University Planning Council to help identify homeowner candidates for this program. Qualifying applicants must own and occupy a home located within the Community Investment Campus that requires extensive painting; must be physically and/or financially unable to maintain the home; and must meet specific income guidelines set forth by Hearts & Hammers.
The application deadline for this program is June 28, 2010. Hearts & Hammers’ next program day will take place on Saturday, September 25, 2010.
