With the help of a $10,000 grant from the Texas State Affordable Housing Corporation, a $50,000 donation from anonymous donor and a donation of $20,000 from a CCDC board member, the CCDC has completed a major renovation of its affordable property at 1817A West 10th Street, a structure that contributes to the Clarksville National Register Historic District.
The total cost of the renovation was nearly $105,000. The CCDC invested $35,000 of its own money into the project.
Work on 1817A West 10th included, among other things:
• Replacing rotten exterior wood
• Foundation leveling
• Extensive drywall repairs
• Painting inside and out
• Redoing all of the floors
• Totally remodeling both the kitchen and bath

• Repairing the front porch and constructing a small landing deck at the back of the house

The CCDC also provided the residents of 1817A with temporary housing in another of its properties while the renovation was going on and gave the tenants a move-out and move-in allowance.
