We want to introduce you the Tri Cities Repair Team for Summer 2020!

Zack Schoettes : Tri Cities Repair Program Coordinator
Laura Kelly : Assistant Director of Ministries
Caroline Nowak : Tri Cities Repair Operations Coordinator
Noah Gaylor : Tri Cities Repair Fellow
Kortney Bodge : Hiring Program Manager

Zack, Caroline and Noah have been out in the field throughout this past year with the Tri Cities Program working on site to complete repairs and assist volunteers. They are excited to have Laura and Kortney on board for the summer to accomplish grant funded repairs in the absence of our normal summer volunteer program!!

Look at how beautiful this porch turned out!!

We were able to accomplish this repair with Johnson City CDBG funding and are grateful to have received additional funds through the Carol M. Peterson Housing Fund that will allow us to install a new tin roof and ramp off the front of the home later in the summer.

Remember that porch repair that our Tri-Cities team was working on this week? Not only has it been completed and passed inspection, it is Blue-approved! Maxie and Blue took a moment to enjoy the new porch and stairs, we are thankful to see all of those smiles. Now with the roof repaired and this exit replaced, the team is ready for future projects. Continue to follow their progress on their county page at www.facebook.com/ASPTriCities! #ASPhome #WeAreASP #ASPTriCities #warmerSAFERdrier

We are very excited for the work we hope to accomplish this summer!

Check back in throughout the week to see progress on this project and other fun things we are doing out in the field!

Greetings from the Tri Cities!

It is summer once again, and our staff is excited to be repairing homes here in Eastern Tennessee. This summer, however, will be different than ever before. Due to state and federal recommendations in response to COVID-19, ASP will not be hosting volunteers this summer.

While we are happy to be able to complete repairs this summer, these restrictions will limit the number and type of homes we will reach in the area in 2020. We will be working with our staff and subcontractors to complete these repairs while maintaining safety and sanitation throughout every step of our process.

We thank you for your patience as we adapt to these new operating procedures.

We hope you will follow along on this page to see regular updates on the projects from this region. I’ll be posting weekly updates regularly about the center, staff and projects, so come along for the journey, we can’t wait to get started!

Thank you supporters!
