$5,000 - Demolish
$1,000 - Renovate

$100 - Grass Cuttting

Projects

We completed a 3BD/2BA renovation at 29 N 82nd in the City of Belleville, and sold to a first-time homebuyer in December 2023. In 2024, we plan to restore two abandoned properties at 300 S. 74th Street and 7100 Northern in The Ogles Neighborhood, Stookey Township.
We need neighbors to help to identify properties for WERC's community-based interventions. Please email veilewerc@gmail.com or contact one of our directors.
