So far 35 projects have been completed benefiting low to moderate-income households in Mesa. Three projects are nearing completion with another 35 under contract. One of the beneficiaries of the program is Cheryl Ross who had a roof that was severely leaking and a single-pane glass sliding door and transom window causing severe energy loss during summer. Through the City's program she got a new high density foam roof system, an energy-efficient dual pane sliding glass door and a transom window that has cut her electric bills by 25 percent.

Ross said: "I didn't know how I was going to afford the repairs. After learning about the Emergency Rehabilitation Program, the City staff, specifically Gary Ray (Housing Rehab Specialist), was so helpful throughout the entire process. They helped me find an amazing contractor who listened to me and made sure all the work was done to code. I was so impressed by their professionalism, patience and compassion."
