ST. JAMES—Contractors are needed for home repair work in New Haven as Haven Manor has been awarded a grant for a senior housing renovation project by the Federal Home Loan Bank-Des Moines (FHLB).
Meramec Regional Planning Commission (MRPC) is administering the grant. The grant will allow the senior housing board to hire contractors to renovate 36 one-bedroom housing units at the complex, creating safer, healthier homes for residents. Renovations will include installation of new sidewalks, front porch pads, metal roofing, kitchen cabinets, front doors, range hoods and bath vanities. Contractors are needed to make these renovations and are asked to complete a contractor application prior to bidding.
