Imagine living in a house with rainwater leaking behind the walls and from the ceiling. An on-going study funded in part by Beckley Area Foundation is shining a light on areas of the greatest need in housing repair. Specifically, elderly and disabled homeowners living on a fixed income are impacted dramatically. Most of these homes are over 50 years old. Warranties on major household appliances and fixtures have long expired. More

When grit-packing Brenda Warrick came to Gauley Bridge, she took on one difficult job, taming the Regina Apartments community. Nary a man would cross her, as she ran away squatters in unrented units and other undesirables to transform the SALS housing complex into a safe, affordable housing community for low-income families. One contractor said the complex was one of the most run-down jobs he’s done. Now, with her Mother Jones demeanor and with her trusted canine friend Bella, and tenant volunteers, Brenda manages a 24-unit facility full of families with children, disabled persons, and seniors. Read about her and the project HERE! More
