DISCUSSION In 1991, Paint Your Heart Out, Inc. (PYHO) began to work with Anaheim homeowners who were low- and moderate-income seniors or disabled households. Throughout the years, PYHO has refurbished 625 homes with a volunteer force of 1,500 people. Homeowners who benefit from this program incur no costs and sweat-equity is welcomed but not required. Last year, PYHO received Agency funding for the implementation of a paint and minor rehabilitation program in Santa Ana. The objective was to paint 30 homes occupied by low- and moderate-income households. PYHO successfully raised more than $12,000 in cash contributions and an additional $23,000 in in-kind donations. There were more than 500 volunteers recruited to participate, and PYHO exceeded its goal by completing 34 homes. This year, PYHO is requesting $92,000 to continue the implementation of the program. The goal this year is to paint and provide minor rehabilitation to a minimum of 35 households. To qualify for the program, households must be elderly or disabled owner-occupants who are very low- or low income. 25J-1
