The Tompkins County Home Repair Program (TCHR) - administered by Better Housing - provides small repairs for elderly and/or disabled clients. Under TCHR, clients over 60 years old receive labor free of charge, paying for materials only. Many also receive additional assistance through the Tompkins County Office for the Aging, and Better Housing facilitates loans and grants that make materials for needed work available when the client cannot afford them.
John Peeples has joined Better Housing for Tompkins County as the agency's Finance Manager. John recently relocated to Trumansburg with his wife, Rev. Cheryl Peeples, who has been installed as the new Minister at the First Presbyterian Church of Ulysses.
Peeples has an extensive background in not-for-profit administration having served as Accounting Manager and then as the Director of Financial Services and Information at the United Way of Montgomery, Radford, and Floyd Counties in Virginia.
Peeples will be replacing Marilynn Wesche who will be retiring to Florida with her husband Martin.
