Spiff Up Your Hartford Home

Well here is a kewl idea for Hartford home owners. We here at Sad City are believers in the "broken windows" theory and here we see a great example of the city doing something about it;

The City of Hartford’s PORCHES Program provides financing to homeowners who wish to improve the front facades of their one to six-family residential structures.  0% interest loans are available to perform repairs and improvements, including fencing, sidewalks, driveways, windows, landscaping, front doors, hand railings, front stairs, and of course, front porches.  Such repairs will improve the physical appearance of our homes, streets and neighborhoods.  These improvements help retain and enhance property values to the benefit of you and your neighbors. 

For more information on the PORCHES program, contact: Julianne Lugo, Senior Project Manager City of Hartford, Housing and Property Management Division 860.757.9029 lugoj001@hartford.gov
