About the initiative:   The Merrill Housing Initiative; is an affordable homeownership project that began in 2007 when Community Action purchased 20 vacant neglected rental properties in the City of Beloit. The houses are located in the Merrill Neighborhood, a diverse community with a rich history in heart of the city. Community Action is currently working to rehabilitate these homes and has partnered with other local efforts to develop the neighborhood. The goal is to create a place that is economically thriving, able to celebrate its diversity, and is safe for working adults and families. Once the work is complete, the refurbished "like new" energy efficient properties, are then sold to low and middle income families with the goal of having more owner occupied homes and revitalizing the neighborhood.     Contact Lee Sather Real Estate to inquire on purchasing these homes.

Completely "like new" homes! Featuring "New" appliances, electrical, furnace and more! For more information about buying a home, please contact: John Ramstad at 608-313-1335 jramstad@community-action.org
