Housing rehabilitation denial at 1001 Montclair Road
Summary
An elderly couple who waited seven years for a city housing rehab grant saw their project denied in August because repairs cost more than SHIP program rules allow. Their daughter asked the council to revisit a proposed lot-swap idea, but the city manager said the swap involves Lennar-owned lots and isn't feasible, though he offered to meet with the family to explore other options.
