Patsy Owens, a resident of Orchard Knob for the past ten years, recently received much-needed assistance in the form of a new roof for her 73-year-old Ivy Street home. Owens struggled to afford necessary repairs on her aging roof and was grateful to learn about a program in Orchard Knob designed to improve the energy efficiency of homes in the area. After applying and being approved for the program, Owens received a new roof that has significantly improved her home and alleviated financial stress.
Owens is just one of many residents in the Orchard Knob area who have benefitted from the Connected Communities Program. This program has provided residents with various resources, including home energy upgrades, laptop computers, and internet access for telehealth and other online needs. Over the past couple of years, dozens of individuals in the area have been able to improve their living situations thanks to this program.
In a recent telephone interview, Owens expressed her gratitude for the program, stating that she would not have been able to afford a new roof without this assistance. The new roof has significantly improved her home and she is grateful for the resources provided by the Connected Communities Program.
The Connected Communities Program is just one example of how communities are coming together to support their residents. This type of initiative can help improve living conditions and reduce financial stress for many individuals and families in need.
