PROJECT SUCCESS STORY
Park Forest, Illinois
Neighbors said the home had been vacant for over 10 years and that they are happy new life has been brought to the neighborhood. When rehab costs ran out, the homeowner was still dedicated to completing the project and spent time and money for tree removal, landscaping, and everything pertaining to the outdoors.
