Refrigerators Installed at Kennedy Plaza
posted 4/22/22 -- Residents of Kennedy Plaza received new, energy efficient refrigerators last week as part of LCCAA’s ongoing partnership with Lorain Metropolitan Housing Authority.Through its Community Connections Program, LCCAA installed the new 10.1 cubic foot appliances in all 99 units in the building. This is the fifth low-income housing complex the agency has worked with to help residents.
“These residents need reliable appliances to keep their utility bills manageable and their food safe,” said Planning and Community Services Director Bobby Taylor.
Property Manager Iliana Lopez said she and the residents were very appreciative of the agency’s efforts.
“I have spoken to several tenants who all are very pleased with the new refrigerator,” she said. “They indicated the installation of the new refrigerator was quick and the team did a great job.”
LCCAA began collaborating with subsidized housing in 2019 when it replaced all the refrigerators at the Pearl Village and Westgate Gardens properties. In 2020, LMHA’s Harr Plaza received the same update. The project to update appliances at Lakeview Plaza spanned 2020 and 2021 thanks to supply chain issues.
Community Connections is a partnership with Ohio Edison. The program also replaces freezers and light-bulbs for income-eligible customers.
