CHENANGO COUNTY – The Impact Project is a nonprofit dedicated towards helping people stay in their homes at no cost to the homeowners, and they still have the resources to help more than a dozen families throughout Chenango County this year.
According to The Impact Project Executive Director James Willard III, homeowners throughout Chenango County need help, and if they fill out his organization's short application then they could receive it for free.
“Anybody can apply to the Impact Project, we will take an application from anyone regardless of their background,” said Willard. “We can’t help everybody, and there are services that we don’t do but people can find all of that information on our website, theimpactprojectgreene.org along with the application.”
“The one thing I say to people all the time is that you can’t get a yes if you don’t ask; if you don’t ask you’ve already got your answer, at least if you ask and you have a chance of somebody fixing your problem for free.”
Willard said applications slowed down at the start of the year, and that The Impact Project hopes to help more than 20 families by the end of this year. He said if you or someone you know has put an application in before but it wasn’t approved, try putting in another application.
“If the person waits, the problem doesn’t get better, it doesn’t heal itself, in fact it gets worse,” said Willard. “People reach a point in some cases where it's unobtainable to fix the issue at all, because they’ve kicked the can down to the road so far and so many times.”
“Even if we can’t help you, maybe we can get you to another agency in Chenango County or somewhere nearby that can.”
He said there are likely people throughout Chenango County that have given up hope on getting a new roof or feel like they’re trapped in their homes.
“What we can’t control is who applies, so we have to encourage people to apply and then we can do our part,” he added. “Just reach out and ask for the application, we can’t promise we’ll help everybody, but it’s worth a shot.”
People who want to volunteer or donate may visit The Impact Project’s website at https://theimpactprojectgreene.org/wp/ for more information.
“You can’t just say you’re done, the problem isn’t going to go away,” he added. “We’re here to help you, and we’re going to try and help as many people as we can.”
