OWENSBORO, KY (2/6/12) – The World Changers volunteer organization will be in Owensboro, June 18-22, 2012.
This organization’s visit marks the fifth consecutive year that volunteers from 10 different states have helped low-income people in our community. World Changers will furnish volunteer workers and construction supervisors for each house to complete minor repairs. Fifteen to twenty homes will be placed on the final project list and all repairs and building materials will be furnished at no cost to the homeowner. The City of Owensboro will furnish the building materials necessary for each project site.
Homeowners can expect a crew of 10-15 people at their home for a period of two to three days, depending on the size of the project. The project guidelines are as follows:
• Homes must be located within the city limits of Owensboro, Kentucky.
• The project applies to homeowners only (deed of record). No rental property will be considered.
• Only single story homes will be considered.
• Roof shingle replacement, minor exterior painting, wheelchair ramps and yard cleanup will be considered for a project. Window replacement and structural repair items will be not be considered for projects. World Changers will make the final selection on which houses will be on the project list.
• The household must meet the HUD income guidelines (Example: single family maximum income limit is $31,750 per year / a four-person family maximum income limit is $45,300 per year).
• All interested homeowners must provide income information and proof of current homeowners insurance.
• Homeowner application deadline is Monday, April 16, 2012.
