2010 Richmond Rebuilding Day: Bellemeade and Oak Grove Neighborhoods
These Richmond Neighborhoods includes a diverse mix of home styles such as one and two-story frame bungalows and brick Cape Cods. Most of the homes were built in the 1940’s and 1950’s.
The aged housing stock in these neighborhoods represents significant maintenance challenges. The elderly, low-income segment of the population faces the issues of limited means and ability to replace costly roofs, furnaces, windows, doors and appliances. For example: Ms. J, a homeowner on Willis Street, is unable to afford to run her electric baseboard heating due to the complete lack of insulation in her home. Average electric bills for her 1000 sq ft home hit $400 a month in the coldest part of the year. This expense represents half of her monthly income.
Rebuilding Together of Richmond 2010 Facts
• Forty-three homes served in Richmond’s Bellemeade and Oak Grove Neighborhoods as well as the Richmond Public Schools Oak Grove Elementary School, Headquarters building.
• All homes are owned and occupied by low-income elderly or disabled residents of the City of Richmond.
• More than 1500 volunteers participate in Rebuilding Together of Richmond each year.
• The services and products delivered by Rebuilding Together of Richmond are paid for, sponsored and underwritten primarily by Richmond-based businesses and community partners.
• The Richmond Rebuilding Together organization began in April 1993 with repairs to 23 homes in the Blackwell community. At the close of its seventeenth year, the organization has rehabilitated 788 homes and helped to revitalize 15 communities in the Richmond area.
• Improvements made to homes have included:
o Reattaching gutters and downspouts
o Adding handrails to the front and back stoops
o Weatherizing doors and windows
o Roof replacement
o Insulating
o Furnace, hot water tank and other appliance repair and replacement
o Electrical service upgrades
o Bath fixtures replacement
o Repair to floors rotted by wet conditions
o Addition of security doors, deadbolts and peepholes.
• The Home Modifications component of this organization includes assessment of the homeowner by an occupational therapist followed by recommendations of products and modifications to be included in the rehab effort, such as:
o Supplying durable medical equipment – tub benches, toilet railings, grab bars
o Resolving safety issues – large numbers on telephones, CO2 and smoke detectors
o Elimination of trip and fall hazards
o Improving independence in the home
o Eliminating access issues by correcting threshold problems or adding ADA ramps.
