Neighborhood Housing Services of Los Angeles County (NHS) Teams Up With Volunteers to Beautify Another Residential Block in Compton on Saturday, August 3rd
Visual
Since 1984, NHS has hosted Neighborhood Pride Day events throughout Los Angeles County and has hosted monthly events throughout the County this year. “Neighborhood revitalization activities like these have always been critical to the well-being of our communities,” said Lori Gay, President and CEO of NHS. “These events are essential to restore the quality of life to neighborhoods that have been weakened by economic hardship.” The work done during Neighborhood Pride Day creates a visible difference in the appearance of the neighborhood. This helps to attract new homeowners and allows existing residents to see that progress is taking place in their community and helps build pride for residents.
Join us at Neighborhood Pride Day and support our effort to provide families with minor home repairs, bulky item removal, light landscaping and exterior house painting. The houses chosen showed signs of deferred maintenance and without the help of NHS they may have not been able to afford the home improvements. This free service is offered to families in Los Angeles County during Neighborhood Pride Day. Homes are chosen on the same street to create a visible improvement in the community and to help strengthen neighborhood pride.
