“Dear PoPville,
A new tenant moved into the ground floor of my building who uses a wheelchair. The steps leading to the building are not handicap accessible, does anyone know if there are city grants to support access?”

“Dear PoPville,
I’m saving to replace the heat pump in a small 1BR condo in Glover Park. Trying to get it replaced before it dies so that I’m not scrambling.
The contractor will need a crane to get it onto the roof of a 3 story building.
