  • Munro House

    [ SPONSOR INFO ] blank
    On January 15th, 2010 the dream of becoming homeowner was reality for Maria Peas when she bought the first foreclosure property rehabbed by Rebuilding Together Tampa Bay. The house located in Tampa Heights was donated by JP Morgan Chase in September of 2009. For two month over 100 volunteers and trade professionals contributed their time and labor to make the necessary repairs in the house and make it available to a First Time Homebuyer. The house was loaded with new appliances, light fixtures, heating and A/c unit, door, window blinds, new landscaping and fresh paint. Munro Street is a pilot project approved by the Board of Directors to explore and evaluate RTTB’s contribution and future commitment to the Neighborhood Stabilization Program and its model. The property was generously donated through the Chase Community Revitalization program. It took about eight weeks to complete renovations in the house. As result of such a successful project, the Board of Directors is considering other properties in order to increase affordable homeownership in the Tampa Bay area. This would make a positive impact in the communities and neighborhoods we serve, generate job opportunities among trade professional and general contractors, and, support our suppliers while securing additional funding to expand RTTB’s residential rehabilitation program to low-income homeowners. In addition to Munro Street, J.P. Morgan Chase has also donated a property that has been appointed by the Board as the future headquarters for RTTB to open in the spring of 2010.

This project was one of 4 Rebuilding Together projects awarded a grant by the Rodeway Inn Owners Association focused on repairing the homes of low-income family. The partnership -- named “Room to Rebuild” -- is part of the ongoing commitment by Choice Hotels to strengthen the local communities, in which their associates and franchisees live, work and provide hospitality.
