Tony Lindauer Pairs Struggling Citizens With Giving Volunteers

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Tony Lindauer, Jefferson County Property Valuation Administrator, is teaming up with St. Agnes Parish to participate in New Directions Housing Corporation’s Repair Affair to help a local homeowner with badly-needed repairs for her West Louisville home.

“Earlier this year, we learned of an 82-year-old resident, Everdeen Ferguson, who faced an out of reach tax bill which put her home ownership in jeopardy,” said Lindauer. “We made a public appeal and citizens from Louisville and southern Indiana donated to an account established by the Jefferson County Legal Aid Society to right Mrs. Ferguson’s tax bill and prevent foreclosure.

“Repair Affair is exactly what Mrs. Ferguson needs for her property,” said Jerry Hettinger, St. Agnes’ foreman. “St. Agnes volunteers are spending this Saturday, June 12 being her handyman.”

Connections like this are all over Louisville and are the very essence of how giving this community is to those who need a little extra help when facing or experiencing a rough patch.

Mrs. Ferguson made local headlines earlier this spring when her tax bill was bought by an out-of-town company that would levy heavy penalties and interest on top of what she already owed.

The Repair Affair will take place Saturday, June 12 from 7:30 am until finished at Mrs. Ferguson’s home at 2323 West Gaulbert Avenue. Repair Affair is a volunteer program of New Directions Housing Corporation and local volunteers who form teams and make much-needed home repairs.
