Free Paint comes to Greater Collinwood

Are you already planning for the spring? Making a list of your spring outdoor projects? If one of those includes painting your house or touching up your trim we may be able to help you.  The City of Cleveland is working with Greater Collinwood Development Corporation on the 2020 Exterior Paint Program.  Qualifying applicant can receive up to $1500 in free pain and supplies. Income limits are higher than other programs which will allow more people to apply.

The voucher can’t be used to pay anyone to help paint.  GCDC is currently seeing church groups and others that are interested in assisting senior or disabled residents in helping to paint their homes.
