Housing
Rehabilitation
Housing is as much a part of your community's infrastructure as water lines or sewer lagoons.
When the local housing stock is allowed to deteriorate, several things can happen:
Your tax base shrinks as property values decline. Improved housing quality strengthens your community financially.
Poor housing conditions can drive away other good-quality housing development.
Houses which owners cannot afford to maintain can easily become dilapidated eyesores which harm the entire community.
Rehabilitating a house by making basic improvements and correcting problems can preserve that dwelling unit for another generation of use.
