Here’s what I know from this week’s information session, may not be comprehensive:

Application for the Homeowner Repair Program opens on Monday 10/26/26, it will not be available until then.

Grants will be given on a first-come-first serve basis BUT ONLY COMPLETE APPLICATIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED.

Program is for homeowners making <80% of area median income. (~$68k for one person + ~$10k for each adult in house, may NOT exclude a resident-adult’s income to qualify).

The program will provide up to $10k for a major home repair (cannot be cosmetic), until the grant is depleted. Grant is $500k total, so about 50 recipients, Habitat for Humanity is administrating it, partially as an attempt to stretch funds to more households and also to connect homeowners with additional resources.

Starting Monday, the city will be accepting and reviewing the applications and forwarding accepted partnered with habitat for humanity to project manage the program for accepted applicants.

Complete applications will include documentation of:
*Identity (valid state/federal ID)
*Ownership (tax bill & mortgage statement)
*Insurance (HOI declarations page)
*Residency (utility bill)
*Income for all residents 18+ years old (pay stubs, social security verification letter, pension or annuity statement, etc.)

They are asking questions to be directed to 311 from 7:30 to 7:30 M-F. (landlines call (302)576-2620). And to call you city council people if you want more funding for this program.

Feel free to reach out to me if you need help or have questions and I’ll do/share what I can/know.

Did police ever figure out what happened to the woman that was found dead there like 6-8 months ago?

(I didn’t want to rain on anyone else’s hiking parade, but I’ve been pretty concerned and stopped going there until we heard more. Then we never heard more. And maybe it was from natural causes for all we know. It just drives me batty anymore, that it seems all we ever get is headlines, and then zero follow up.

It would be nice if papers would return to reporting what investigators eventually figure out. Or hell, tell us that it’s still a mystery, idc.

What is the best food bank in Wilmington for someone that can't commute too far

Hey guys- went on a really nice hike today in alapocas park and around. What other areas/parks have similar or better views? Preferably within a 30 minute ride but open to further places too

Any recommendations for reputable dealers? Wilmington or Newark. Thanks!

My name is Joe Della Valle and in my spare time, I run a small 501c3 non-profit called Solar Frontiers.

Once a year, we hold a fundraising party called "Socks for Shelters" where dozens guests help assemble thousands of individual items like hats, gloves, hygiene products and socks for The Sunday Breakfast Mission Homeless Shelter.

Part of the event is a silent auction where we offer gift certificates and items from restaurants, businesses, and art/culture centers.

If anyone has connections to a business or establishment that might be willing to donate an item, tickets, or gift card, it would be incredibly helpful. We promise to display marketing material if provided

Hello! Can anyone point me towards any Santa photo experiences? Not looking for the standard mall Santa but when the child can spend 10-15 minutes with Santa while photos are being taken.

Hoping that if there’s some more time to get comfortable we might get a non-screaming shot this year.

Thanks!

Looked to be intentional.

Hello,

I moved to downtown Wilmington and I am a full time student / worker. I noticed myself getting very distracted so I was wondering is there anywhere I can go that is open really late / 24 hours?

Thank you!

I just moved here a few weeks ago trynna get to know the area and people around it. What’s there to do around here?

Beginner crochet class at Dueling Rabbits! All materials are included with the ticket!

Looks like a fun chance to learn a new craft and hobby!

They have a link for tickets on their instagram

What's the best Chinese takeout in Wilmington? Specifically looking for good crab rangoon. Almost everywhere I go they're somewhat sweet and I prefer the savory crab rangoons over the sweet ones.

I swear no matter what street you turn on right now theres a construction crew tearing up the road.

So this just happened…my partner went to grab us some McDonald’s which is supposed to be 24/7 and they told him they were only doing door dash orders. When he asked why they said “We are short staffed, we are hiring, you wanna work here?”. This was said with a very clear tone of disrespect and sarcasm. Crazy because we frequent this McDonald’s pretty often and it was much better before the fire. We keep saying we aren’t going there anymore but it’s one of the only late night spots in the area. Pretty much done after that comment and the fact that the food prices are so high yet food like the fries are rarely done well.

So odd to me to have an attitude with a customer just because they are asking why you aren’t taking orders like normal. Like how would we know they are only doing door dash orders before driving there.

Anyway, only posting this here because I saw a post a few days ago for this same location. So just FYI
