individuals and families with utility shut-
offs, eviction notices, food, and clothing.
In May, the St. John Neumann Journey to
Housing programplaced its first family as
part of the program which helps the
homeless become financially stable dur-
ing a period of 18 months to two years.
Weekly in-home case management offers
assistance in developing budgets and for-
mulating goals for each family.
“In the last several weeks we've had
four homeless individuals come to our
office in search of help,” said Marie
Morrow, Plymouth Community United
Way president. “Journey toHousing helps
families regain stability.”
Today, Journey to Housing is prepar-
ing to place a fourth homeless family in a
house thanks to PCUW and donations
fromSt. JohnNeumannparishioners.
“The first three are doing well, still in
their homes and we're leading them to
financial independence. Plymouth
CommunityUnitedWaymakes it possible
to support this special work,” said
Zaksek. “There's definitely an increase in
homeless people in Western Wayne
County because of the difficult financial
times we've experienced. They've lost
jobs. We're seeing people living in cars,
couch surfing where they're sent from
one familymember to another.”
In an effort to address these issues,
grants were awarded to organizations
committed to creating lasting change.
Among the recipients were Plymouth-
Canton Community Schools (after-school
tutoring program, Student Voice
LeadershipGroup to teach skills and pro-
mote philanthropy through a hands-on
service project, and GED study and test
materials to enable adults to graduate).
Growth Works provided substance
abuse/dependency rehabilitation for
youthand adults.
Additionally, Plymouth Canton United
Way raised funds for partner agencies
such as First Step, Angela Hospice, The
Salvation Army Plymouth Corps,
Community Opportunity Center (services
for the mentally challenged), Plymouth
Community Council on Aging, Plymouth
Family YMCA, and Human Services
Collaborative (assists in crises cases).
When families are in crisis they frequent-
ly need help from more than one agency.
The nonprofits offer a variety of services
from transportation for senior citizens to
shelter and counseling for victims of
domestic violence and their children.
Plymouth Community United Way
raises funds year round to support pro-
grams for youth, senior citizens, develop-
mentally disabled adults, and low-income
and homeless individuals and families.

Canton Township residents
who notice a green dot or two
painted on their sidewalk can
expect to receive a bill for repairs
to thewalkway. If the dots are red,
the township will be paying for
the repairs.
The township is expected to
pay about $493,500 for sidewalk
repairs bo Mattioli Cement Co. of
Fenton for sidewalk repairs in
forest Trails, Hampton Court,
Hampton Court West, all seven
Windsor Park subdivisions and
the Mayfair Village subdivisions.
Most of the repair work will be
billed back to residents, however,
according to Supervisor Phil
LaJoy. The township will pay for
repairs deemed to be the respon-
sibility of the municipality and
residents do have the option of
using a contractor of their own
choosing and paying directly for
the repairs.
About 1,000 homeowners will
pay an average of $250 for the
repairs to sidewalks that have
been damaged by weather and
wear or that slope enough to con-
tain standing water. The sidewalk
repair program in the township
has been in effect for about 16
years and began in the oldest
township areas which were
inspected to determine where
work was needed. This year, com-
mercial properties and business-
es will also be affected by the
planned repairs which had previ-
ously been limited to residential
sidewalks inneighborhoods.
Canton hosted a public hear-
ing on the sidewalk program last
week which was sparsely attend-
ed. To request a second sidewalk
inspection, residents can call (734)
394-5158.
The sidewalk repairs are slat-
ed to begin inMay.

Settlement reached for defective roof material
Plymouth Township will
receive $127,000 toward the repair
of the peeling paint on the metal
roof of Township Hall and Fire
StationNo. 1.
The funds will come following
the settlement of a warranty claim
on the greenmetal roof filed by the
township against Berridge
Manufacturing Co. whichmade the
roofing material, installed in 2006.
The manufacturer guaranteed the
roofing material for 20 years. The
$127,000 is the estimated cost of
sandblasting and re-coating the
33,500 square foot roof on the
TownshipHall and fire station.
Plymouth Township first filed a
warranty claim in July of 2013 but
was offered only the cost of the
original roofing materials, about
$40,000, minus depreciation for a
total settlement offer of $23,811.
The township rejected that offer
and had the roofing professionally
inspected and tested by Roofing
Technology Associates who found
that 82 percent of the panels on
township hall and 93 percent of
those on the fire station were
defective. Berridge agreed to the
new settlement amount after see-
ing copies of those studies.
Canton Township attorney Greg
Demopoulos
represented
Plymouth Township and recom-
mended the settlement noting that
taking the case to court could
result in less money from the man-
ufacturer. As part of the agree-
ment, the township must release
Berridge from any further claims
under the warranty along with
Roofing Technology, the roofer
who installed thematerials.
