          IN PLANO, 
          [00:00:01]
HUD FUNDING IS HELPING RESIDENTS DO MORE THAN REPAIR HOUSES. 
          IT'S HELPING THEM HOLD ONTO HOME FOR ONE LONG TIME. 
          HOMEOWNER, THIS HOUSE HAS BEEN THE CENTER OF FAMILY LIFE FOR DECADES. 
          FOUR CHILDREN HAVE ALL BEEN RAISED IN THIS HOUSE. 
          MY, UH, YOUNGEST DAUGHTER AND MY GRANDDAUGHTER MOVED IN TO HELP ME WITH MY HUSBAND 'CAUSE HE WAS GETTING FAIRLY DISABLED AND THIS IS THEIR HOME. 
          AFTER LOSING HER HUSBAND AND MUCH OF THE HOUSEHOLD INCOME, MAJOR REPAIRS BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO AFFORD MY AIR CONDITIONER. 
          IT WAS MAKING A NOISE AND WE WERE WORRIED IT WAS GONNA CATCH ON FIRE. 
          WE HAD QUITE HIGH BILLS THROUGH CITY OF PLANO HOUSING ASSISTANCE. 
          HUDSON SUPPORTED WORK HELPED ADDRESS AGING, HVAC, ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, SEWER, WATER HEATER, AND DRAINAGE SYSTEMS FOR THIS FAMILY, THE REPAIRS BROUGHT SAFETY, RELIEF AND PEACE OF MIND. 
          IT'S JUST, IT'S GONNA CHANGE OUR LIFE. 
          IN ANOTHER PLANO NEIGHBORHOOD, A SINGLE PARENT HOMEOWNER WATCHED HER SAFE HAVEN BEGIN TO DETERIORATE. 
          WHEN THE SHIFTING STARTED IN THE HOUSE, IT CREATED A LOT OF ANXIETY IN ME. 
          FOUNDATION MOVEMENT CAUSED SEVERE CRACKS AND SEWER ISSUES, CREATED REPAIRS FAR BEYOND WHAT SHE COULD MANAGE ALONE. 
          THE CRACKS WERE EVERYWHERE. 
          LIKE THERE'S NOT A PLACE IN THIS HOUSE THAT THE CRACKS WERE NOT IN. 
          THROUGH HUD FUNDING, THE CITY HELPED REPAIR FOUNDATION DAMAGE, INTERIOR CRACKING, SOFFITS, DAMAGED GLASS, AND MAJOR SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          THE REHAB PROGRAM HAS BEEN A HEAVEN SENT PROGRAM FOR ME, FOR, FOR MY GIRLS. 
          I CAN LIVE HERE HOPEFULLY UNTIL THE DAY I DIE. 
          WE WERE VERY BLESSED, MY DAUGHTER AND I, AND I KNOW MY HUSBAND'S LOOKING DOWN FROM THE HEAVEN GOING, YES, I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT ANYTHING IN THE HOUSE ANYMORE. 
          . 
          TOGETHER THESE PROJECTS SHOW WHAT HUD FUNDING MAKES POSSIBLE, PRESERVING AFFORDABLE HOME OWNERSHIP, PROTECTING NEIGHBORHOOD STABILITY, AND HELPING PLANO RESIDENTS REMAIN SAFELY IN THE PLACES THEY CALL HOME.
