If you live on the east side and have some home repairs you’ve been meaning to get to, this program may be able to help.
New Direction Church and Englewood Community Development Corp. are partnering to help eastside homeowners get basic home and safety improvements, including roof repairs.
The repairs will be done through the Nehemiah Project and New Direction Church’s construction education program. The initiative is funded by the Indianapolis African American Quality of Life Initiative.Â
