Alma and George have been married 56 years, and have lived in their home in West Terre Haute about 23 years. This photograph was taken before Providence Housing Corporation rehabilitated this home owned by a couple with young children. The corporation replaced the roof, wiring and siding, which contained asbestos. The home owned by Alma and George was the first dwelling rehabilitated by Providence Housing Corporation. To date, the corporation has received grants to fund the rehabilitation of 10 homes.
Repairs are extensive and correct conditions critical to the safety and well being of the residents.
The improvised light hanging from this ceiling is a good example of the hazardous wiring conditions that existed in homes before Providence Housing Corporation rehabilitation. Providence Housing Corporation was designed to enhance the quality of life for the people of West Terre Haute. Already we can see that the program is life-changing.
