Ribbon Cutting Recognizes Wells Fargo Grant on Wednesday, April 11, 2012 Neighborhood Renaissance Event Celebrates National Community Development Week (April 8-14) and the Completion of the First of 74 Foreclosed Properties Reclaimed by “Leading the Way Home Initiative”
West Palm Beach– April 11, 2012. Neighborhood Renaissance celebrated the transformation of the first of 74 reclaimed foreclosed properties into homes that will be within the financial reach of low and moderate-income persons with a Ribbon Cutting. Neighborhood Renaissance was also presented with a $100,000 grant from the Wells Fargo Foundation’s “Leading the Way Home Priority Markets Initiative,” a nationwide effort to rebuild neighborhoods impacted by foreclosures. The organization was invited by local Wells Fargo teams to compete among applicants nationally. This donation is leveraged with an $11.5 million grant fromPalm BeachCounty’s Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2. Upon renovation, the houses will be leased or purchased by low and moderate-income residents ofPalm BeachCounty. Community Development week showcases similar initiatives accomplished by nonprofit agencies and their partners nationally. As a result of Neighborhood Renaissance’s local efforts, the Mathis family will move into their home later this month.
The participants in the Ribbon Cutting included:
Oliver Ariztoy, Wells Fargo Community Bank President for GreaterPalm Beach
Leslie Lily, President and CEO of the Community Foundation forPalm BeachandMartinCounties
Armando Fana, Director of HUD’s Miami Field Office
Edward Lowery, Director of Palm Beach County Department of Economic Sustainability
James Walker, Loan Officer for SouthFlorida,FloridaCommunity Loan Fund
The Mathis family, future residents of the home, represented by Natashia Mathis
The Mathises, long-termPalm BeachCountyresidents, currently reside in a 2 bedroom apartment complex that they have outgrown. With a one year old son and energetic young daughter the family needed a 3 bedroom home with a safe yard for their children to play. They found Neighborhood Renaissance’s program during their search for a larger house nearer their employment. Now that they have found a home that meets their needs, the family will work toward their goal of purchasing their home with the help of Neighborhood Renaissance.
Neighborhood Renaissance is a nonprofit organization dedicated to breathing new life intoPalm BeachCountyneighborhoods by reclaiming distressed properties and making homes that are within the financial reach of low and moderate-income families. The agency recently built 13 energy-efficient single-family homes in the Westgate neighborhood for first-time homebuyers, acquired and renovated 3 foreclosed properties that are being leased by working families, helped over 65 families to purchase their first home, and constructed 33 single-family homes in Northwood.
All 74 homes acquired through this initiative will be renovated by December of this year and are available for lease or purchase. The next 12 houses will be completed in 3 months and Neighborhood Renaissance is currently taking applications for future residents.
