| A Brush with Kindness |
|
A Brush with Kindness serves low-income homeowners who live in targeted areas in Twin Cities neighborhoods and whose homes need exterior restoration. A limited number of interior projects for seniors struggling with clutter, paint and repair issues are worked on over the winter months. Work occurs year round. Applications are processed ongoing throughout the year. Volunteers from businesses, churches and service organizations will do all the work alongside able-bodied residents. Assessing homes begins in March, 2008. All paint and most other supplies will be furnished by A Brush with Kindness. Volunteers supply their own food, tools and any additional supplies needed to complete the project. Most projects will be completed within a week, depending on the size of the home and number of volunteers. Volunteers, together with the homeowner, will work out project details, including the scope of the work and when the job will be completed. A Brush with Kindness is a neighborhood program of Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity.
For an application or questions: Call 612.788.8169

| Minneapolis Ordinance Change |
|
A recent amendment has been made to the Minneapolis ordinance regarding nuisance conditions, which includes things like tall grass and weeds, vegetation overhanging the public sidewalk or alley, or rubbish and debris on private property. The new amendment allows the City of Minneapolis to correct these conditions without notice. Since February 1, 2006, property owners who have received two or more notices to correct a nuisance condition within the prior twelve-month period may no longer receive notification of future violations. The City may correct the nuisance condition and assess the costs without sending further notice. All costs of such removal or correction will be added as a special tax assessment against the property. The initial notice will remain in effect for twelve months from the date it is sent. |
