"From Clutter to Classy"

Funded through a Montgomery County Community Development Block Grant, "From Clutter to Classy" will begin in September, 2006 offering two 14-week cycles of lessons, presentations and hands-on activities, designed to prevent low-income families from being evicted for poor housekeeping lease violations. The program will teach cleaning methods and techniques that will satisfy Housing Quality Standards. Participants will complete hands-on assignments in their own homes to practice the skills learned in the workshops. To encourage good attendance "From Clutter to Classy" will offer a variety of incentives, like household cleaning materials/supplies and free child care during class time. In addition, the program will also provide the services of a half-time Housekeeping Aide, who will conduct friendly, informal home visits to support the skills learned in the workshop and to coach the residents to build upon their progress in the program.
