SANDERS COUNTY - Dan Bates was recently presented with a plaque of appreciation from the Sanders County Community Housing Organization. Bates served as president of the organization for many years. He served at the time when the SCCHO embarked on its first large project, the acquisition and rehabilitation of five duplexes in Plains. This was a complicated and lengthy project to which Bates gave a lot of time and energy to. The project was, and still is, a great success.

SCCHO continues to explore other housing possibilities countywide in an effort to provide safe, affordable housing to the residents of Sanders County.

Additionally, SCCHO facilitates a Senior Home Repair program that, through no interest loans, assists seniors in home repairs. Currently, there is $10,000 available to Sanders County eligible seniors for repair to their homes. For more information, please call Deb at 546-7183.

Presenting the award were current President Ernie Scherzer, Board Member, Doug Ferrell, and Executive Director, Deb Achatz.
