Community Revitalization Program

Community Revitalization Program

The City of Roeland Park and Heartland Habitat for Humanity have partnered to bring neighborhood revitalization to the City through minor exterior home repairs. Projects include weatherization, painting, landscaping, wheelchair ramp installation, etc. Labor is completed by volunteers and homeowners. As a result, individuals and families remain in their homes longer, avoid code violations, and realize energy cost savings and increased home values. Homes selected for the program are identified by the City’s Code Enforcement Department.

Contact Heartland Habitat for Humanity if you are interested in volunteering.

Home Remodeling Loan Program - Mid-America Regional Council (MARC)

We have renewed our agreement with Community America Credit Union for another year and interest rates have dropped to just over 5%. Over the last five years we have done over 175 loans totaling over $3 million. However, we have issued many loans this year. Part of this is the economy, but also it needs to be better promoted. We are asking that each city begin to promote the loan program again by mentioning it in newsletters, at neighborhood meetings, in press releases, and placing a link to the program website prominently on your website.
