Rejuvenate Housing, a non-profit organization, is planning to show off a newly renovated house in Davenport with the hope of revitalizing the central part of the city. The group is looking to refurbish the old house and to find families making low to moderate incomes that need such homes.
Quad Cities Bank and Trust gave Rejuvenate Housing a grant of $25,000 to buy and renovate this house on 14th Street that was once condemned. Beth Dunn, Vice President of Commercial Lending, said that these funds were ideal for their mission, as it helps to stabilize the neighborhood and the area when existing housing is being re-used. Dunn added that rather than letting a house sit empty, families get to move to a new home which is also a gain for everyone and the city. News about such houses and other potential developments can be spread throughout a city with many kinds of printing services.
Structural components were reinforced in the house with additional upgrades including new windows and carpets. Ed Winborn, Treasurer of Rejuvenate Housing, said the central part of Davenport is a great place to live and people need to be encouraged to move back into the neighborhoods where there are many opportunities to buy good houses.
Its next house will be a few blocks away on 17th Street and has been donated by St. Ambrose University.
