Topeka is finalizing details that will bring 300 to 400 young people to the capital city to paint about 60 houses for struggling homeowners

The city of Topeka is finalizing details that will bring 300 to 400 young people to the capital city this summer to paint about 60 houses for struggling homeowners.

Now they need homes to paint.

Shane Wilson, program intake coordinator with the city’s Neighborhood Relations department, said Group Cares, a Colorado-based organization, will bring its team to Topeka from July 7-13.

City officials decided to reach out to homeowners, who must meet specific criteria, in the North Topeka East and West areas, as well as the Ward-Meade area, because the Seaman school district agreed to provide accommodations for the young volunteers, Wilson said. Those areas are close to the Seaman district.
