Curly willow branches
by Sara MacLeod 29 Oct '19

29 Oct '19

Hi neighbors - We trimmed a bunch of limbs from our curly willow tree, and I set some of them in our alley in case anyone is interested. Some of them are huge and might be useful for creative minds. They’re in Thalia Way, behind 1135 Mellon, propped up against our fence. Mac

Want the scoop on East Liberty and the East End?
by Ted Melnyk 29 Oct '19

29 Oct '19

Hello Neighbors, If you're looking for more info about what's going on in the East End, please sign up for the East Liberty Happenings You can sign up on the website here: https://www.eastliberty.org/newsletter/ *Friday, October 25th, 2019* *Community Happenings* Homes similar to this one on Fairmount Street will be rehabilitated and sold to qualified low-income buyers with assistance from the PHFA. ELDI awarded state grant to expand affordable homeownership opportunities in Garfield The Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (PHFA) recently awarded a $200,000 grant to ELDI through their Pennsylvania Housing Affordability and Rehabilitation Enhancement (PHARE) Fund. The funds for this grant come from the Commonwealth’s portion of the realty transfer tax paid when buying or selling real estate. The grant will assist in the rehabilitation of seven vacant or abandoned homes in Garfield. It is also helping leverage additional grants and loans for these projects. *"PHFA is pleased to provide some PHARE funding to ELDI,” said PHFA Executive Director and CEO Brian Hudson, Sr. “They are doing important work to expand homeownership opportunities for low-income families in neighborhoods like Garfield.”* These seven homes—which range in size from three to five bedrooms—will be available for sale to qualified buyers between 50 and 80 percent of area median income and their location in a neighborhood on the rise will help these buyers secure not just a safe, comfortable home but an asset likely to grow in value. ELDI is working with Circles Greater Pittsburgh <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Feastliber…> and Open Hand Ministries to help potential buyers prepare to become homeowners. If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a homeowner in Garfield, East Liberty, or Larimer please contact Mary Hester at ELDI: 412-361-8061 or mary.hester(a)eastliberty.org.
