2021 Paint Program Applications are Due by Sunday |
Application deadline is February 28th |
Free Home Repair
The Age-Friendly Home Investment program administered through the City of Cleveland’s Department of Aging is now available. The program helps seniors over the age of 60 or adults between the ages of 18-59 with a disability address one home maintenance or home repair need. The program also assists with additional referrals to other home repair programs. The program is first-come, first-serve, with a limited amount of funding per ward.
To qualify, residents:
- Must be a low or moderate-income Cleveland homeowner aged 60 years or older or an adult age 18-59 receiving disability.
- The residence must be a single or two-family home that the applicant owns and resides in.
- Property taxes are current or the applicant is on a payment plan.
- The property must not be in foreclosure.
Since the program has limited funding and tends to be competitive, Tremont West would like to help residents who are interested in applying. Please contact Community Engagement Specialist Julie Dahlhausen at 216-280-8411 or juliedahlhausen@tremontwest.org for additional information. |

Request Public Records Survey |
The Northeast Ohio Solutions Journalism Collaborative and Cleveland Documenters are working with Linda Austin, a journalism educator, to create a microlearning course that will teach Cleveland residents how to find and request public records. The course will be free and people will be able to sign up to receive a daily lesson via text message.
In order to make the course as useful as possible, we are asking folks to take a quick survey so we know what information to include and what public records Clevelanders might be most interested in requesting.
Since CDCs are connected with resident groups, like block clubs, and often field questions about government records and information, I wanted to send the survey along in hopes you'll help us with this civic engagement project.
