Keeping
Cleveland Heights
in good repair!

WORKSHOP SCHEDULE

To help homeowners meet the challenge of keeping an older home safe, secure, and sustainable, HRRC's Project Repair program offers repair workshops throughout the year. Most are held in our Teaching Center at 2520 Noble Road, two blocks north of Monticello in Cleveland Heights. (Take a Virtual Tour of our workshop.) These classes provide hands-on practice and are kept small to maximize learning. Volunteer instructors are needed to teach our classes.

HRRC's repair workshops are now open to residents of all communities. Spaces are limited, and reservations are a must! For further information or to reserve a spot in a workshop, call (216) 381-6100, ext. 16, or email workshops@hrrc-ch.org. Please include a daytime phone number so that we can contact you to finalize your reservation.

Workshop attendees pay a modest materials fee: $10 for Cleveland Heights residents and $15 for non-residents. (Scholarships are available to Cleveland Heights residents with low incomes.) Fees may be paid by cash or check. Unused spaces on prepaid workshop cards purchased previously will still be honored.

Note: In addition to Project Repair’s "hands-on" workshops for do-selfers, Home Repair Resource Center also offers HouseMender University, information sessions that provide "free advice from the experts," and an interactive workshops series on Financial Fitness.
