Standish Neighborhood Resident

"I have been participating with the SENA group and the NRP funds have done quite a bit to improve our neighborhoods. The money provides staff to pull neighbors and businesses together to work together on issues like graffiti. Providing someone to update the neighborhood is extremely important to a healthy neighborhood. Specific examples of NRP money helping are the home repair loans, extra windows on the Hiawatha building, crosswalk light on 28th street and Minnehaha creek, the SENA newsletter and providing funds to neighborhood businesses for anti graffiti materials. Without NRP I am pretty sure these things would not have been done."

"The NRP helped us out big time. We bought our home, bank owned, last year and found out we had to replace the entire roof on our home (not just fix it as we had hoped) after we'd purchased it. The NRP made it possible for us to get our roof replaced at a more affordable rate, whereas otherwise I'm not sure what we'd do. This allowed a law-abiding family to live in a neighborhood and make this place a better place to live. I know we, in our neighborhood, are concerned about houses not being maintained or abandoned. Partly due to the NRP we've been able to at least keep one home in repair. "
