Mrs. Rosa Lee Benekin had little idea that her attendance at her local neighborhood council meeting would yield such great returns.  It was there that she heard Anthony Joyner, Metanoia’s Director of Housing Development talk about Metanoia’s new Repair Program for neighborhood residents who own their own home and live on a fixed income.

Mrs. Benekin applied to fix her sagging hallway and a bathroom. They had become unusable due to a hole in the floor and an inoperable bathtub.

“It was wonderful working with Metanoia,” she says.  “They told me they would be through in three weeks and by one day over three weeks they were finished.  Everything that I really wanted done has been done.  The contractor was very honest and very good.   I would encourage anyone to go through this process, because after they finish you will be well satisfied.”

        Mrs. Benekin is a longtime resident of the Union Heights Community where Metanoia recently expanded its reach to include this community in our rehabilitation program.  She and her home are both neighborhood assets that we make it our mission to hold onto.
