The Lindsay Heights Home Repair Program is coming soon! Walnut Way is currently conducting assessments and preparing for the next phase of the program. During this time, our team is reviewing homeowner needs, prioritizing senior households, and coordinating assessments to ensure a smooth rollout. When the program launches, eligible Lindsay Heights homeowners will be able to receive up to $TBD as reimbursement for minor “paint-up, fix-up” projects, including electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, ceiling patching, and painting to improve basic health, safety, and appearance—not full renovations. Our Environmental Justice Housing Coordinator will contact you to schedule a visit or phone call to discuss your project and next steps. We appreciate your patience and look forward to supporting Lindsay Heights homeowners as we finalize program details and prepare to begin repairs.

The Lindsay Heights Emergency Repair Program offers fast, simple help for urgent home repairs that protect health, safety, and comfort for Lindsay Heights homeowners. The goal is to stabilize homes quickly so small problems do not become major, costly issues or lead to unsafe living conditions.​ The program focuses on minor “paint‑up, fix‑up” projects like small electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling, patching, and basic interior repairs—not full renovations. Eligible homeowners can receive up to $TBD per household as reimbursement or direct contractor support for approved work, with priority for seniors and households with the greatest need.​ With a short intake form and quick follow‑up from Walnut Way’s Environmental Justice Housing Coordinator, residents are connected to trusted local contractors so repairs can be completed quickly and with minimal paperwork.

Assessment process for the green infrastructure project involves conducting on-site visits to determine suitable locations for tree planting, rain barrel installation, and rain garden implementation. During these visits, our team of experts will thoroughly assess the area to identify optimal spots for these initiatives. This comprehensive consultation arrangement ensures that we provide an accurate and tailored description of the project, meeting your specific needs and goals.
