PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE
PROGRESS REPORT

The maintenance and landscape staff of North Coast Community Homes (NCCH) work to maintain our 178 homes for the safety and comfort of NCCH tenants, currently numbering 890. Since January 1st of 2006, the maintenance staff, consisting of 7 individuals, has handled about 300 calls for service each month. These service calls include small items, such as a leaking faucet or a broken electrical outlet, as well as major repairs or replacement of appliances, fixing a leaking roof, interior and exterior painting, bathroom and kitchen renovations, and so on. Our 5 landscapers cut the grass once a week at each of 115 properties, as well as maintain the yards of these homes.

New tenants have moved into 2 recently renovated homes in Cuyahoga County and 2 homes in Stark County. Renovation work to make an accessible home for 4 women with mental retardation and developmental disabilities (mr/dd) in Lake County has begun.

NCCH has received a request from the Cuyahoga County Board of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilties to develop 3 additional homes and a search for appropriate homes has been initiated. The Alcohol, Drug Addiction & Mental Health Services Board in Summit County (the ADM Board) has asked NCCH to construct a new property for nine individuals with mental illness who are currenly living on the street or in temporary shelters. This construction will be partially funded by NCCH, the ADM Board, the HUD Continuum of Care Program and The Margaret Clark Morgan Foundation.
