Description
In this week’s Verbrugge View, City Manager Jamie Verbrugge takes us to the house being built by Habitat for Humanity.
A
A
brand
new
home
is
coming
up
on
Wentworth
Avenue
and
today
we're
going
to
show
you
how
the
Bloomington's,
housing
and
Redevelopment
Authority
is
working
with
an
important
partner
in
providing
affordable
housing
Habitat
for
Humanity
and
many
volunteers
to
make
homeownership
a
reality
for
another
Bloomington
family.
Welcome
to
this
week's
brew,
give
you
I'm
Jamie
for
bougie
city
manager
and
today
we're
going
to
learn
how
Habitat
for
Humanity
helps
make
homeownership
possible
in
Bloomington.
Let's
go
inside
and
check
it
out.
A
B
B
B
Habitat
for
Humanity
offers
homeownership
opportunities
to
families
who
may
not
otherwise
afford
homeownership.
So
they
have
a
sweat
equity
requirement
where
the
family
actually
works
on
their
project
or
another
project
to
help
qualify
for
the
program.
So
it
really
encourages
them
to
be
a
real
participant
in
the
build
out
of
the
home.
They
use
volunteers
to
build
the
home
and
they
use
fundings
like
from
the
city
and
other
sources,
to
help
reduce
the
cost
of
the
home
and.
A
B
A
B
One
of
the
biggest
things
that
the
HOA
does
is
operate,
the
section
8
rent
assistance
program,
which
provides
run
assistance
to
about
550
families
every
month
in
this
city.
So
that's
one
of
the
biggest
programs
we
do.
We
also
run
a
very
large
rehab
loan
program
where
we
loan
money
to
homeowners
in
the
city.
The
the
deferred
loan
is
deferred
as
long
as
you
live
in
the
home.
So
until
you
sell
or
transfer
the
title,
that's
when
it
becomes
payable,
so
you
could
be.
You
know,
30
years,
if
you
stay.
A
That
long
now
we're
going
to
talk
to
the
site
supervisor
for
Habitat
for
Humanity.
So
let's
go
around
to
the
side
of
the
house
and
we're
going
to
meet
David
Michaelson
who's
been
working
for
habitat
for
16
years.
Coordinating
these
projects,
so
David
has
been
with
habitat
for
16
years
as
a
site
supervisor
tell
us
what
kind
of
work
goes
into
being
a
site
supervisor
in
a
project
like
this,
so.
C
C
C
A
D
D
Is
correct:
we
are
behind
desk
pretty
much
all
day
and
not
with
our
customers,
so
it
this
would
be
a
homeowner
safe
weekend
activity
for
us,
but
today
it's
a
job
and
we're
really
enjoying
it.
Some
of
the
people
here
today
have
done
multiple
builds
and
you
can
start
to
see
the
skills
carry
over
from
previous
years,
especially
on
something
like
doing
siding.
That
has
a
lot
of
technicalities
and
and
measurements
and
precise
things.
D
A
We've
tried
to
show
you
the
importance
this
week
of
partnerships
in
our
community
that
helped
the
city
achieve
its
goals,
improving
our
neighborhoods
and
providing
affordable
housing
options
to
new
residents
and
attracting
new
residents
for
our
community.
We
will
see
you
next
time
on
the
verb.
We
give
you.
