his year Muncie Habitat launched a new exterior home repair and preservation program called A Brush with Kindness. Projects included painting, landscaping, weather stripping and minor repair services for homeowners in need. A Brush with Kindness helps low-income homeowners impacted by age, disability and family circumstances, who struggle to maintain the exterior of their homes, reclaim their homes with pride and dignity. Muncie Habitat partnered with Community Development, Muncie Clean and Beautiful, Muncie Sanitary District, Whitely Community Council and hundreds of volunteers to complete 15 projects during 2011. A Brush with Kindness helps revitalize the appearance of neighborhoods, strengthens connections within the community and helps preserve affordable housing stock.
