This program demonstrates to residents how to remodel <br />older style homes to meet the needs of today’s families all within a <br />modest budget. <br /> <br />"One of our housing goals is to promote reinvestment in our existing <br />neighborhoods," said city manager Matt Fulton. The city will do this by <br />purchasing vacant, bank-owned properties and work with a contractor to <br />determine what work should be completed. Re-using materials and <br />shopping at liquidators and re-use centers will be methods encouraged <br />to residents for their own projects and will help to keep the cost of this <br />project reasonable. <br />Each of the homes selected in the Home for Generations program will be <br />open to the public for a Pre-Open House before construction begins and <br />an Open House midway through the construction process. Once the <br />construction has been completed, there will be several Open Houses <br />scheduled to showcase the finished home to existing homeowners to <br />demonstrate what they can do to invest in their own homes, and also to <br />new homebuyers attracting them to buy in Coon Rapids. <br />HOME / Search Departments Residents Business Visitors How Do I... <br />Page 1 of 6Home for Generations <br />2/28/2012http://www.ci.coon-rapids.mn.us/housing/homeforgenerations.htm
