Meet the Legette Family

 
 

Residents of the Bryant neighborhood for 13 years, the Legette family received upgrades to their home as part of the Sustainability Project!

 

“'No matter who you are or where you are, instinct tells you to go home'. When purchasing this home, my thoughts were...I'll have something to leave my children. Before the work was done I worried about how this affected my bills, now after the work has been done and how it will affect our bills in the future it has amazed me! I think that this has been the best idea ever".


-Shunta Legette

 

Upgrades included:


  • Installed a sump pump and a water garden
  • Crawl space encapsulated from the ground
  • Encapsulated the attic
 
 
 

In partnerhsip with The City of Ann Arbor's Office of Sustainability and Innovations, Elevate, MSHDA, and McKnight Foundation, upgrades just like the ones the Legette family received, plus others like new energy-efficient windows and doors, solar panels, A/C and heating upgrades and more have been completed in 7 homes.

43 more are in the queue with the goal of the entire Bryant neighborhood to become carbon neutral.
