Long Beach, CA ~ Long Beach, CA - As the month of May approaches, the City of Long Beach is gearing up for a citywide celebration of National Home Improvement Month. This inaugural initiative, themed "Love Where You Live," aims to highlight the importance of design, renovation, and community pride in shaping the neighborhoods that make Long Beach a place its residents are proud to call home.
Led by the Community Development Department, this month-long campaign has been created to showcase the vital role that home improvement plays in creating stronger and more beautiful communities. Mayor Rex Richardson expressed his enthusiasm for the initiative, stating that "our homes are more than just buildings - they are the foundation of our families, our memories, and our neighborhoods." He believes that Home Improvement Month is a celebration of the shared commitment to nurturing these spaces and investing in a better future for generations to come.
Throughout May, residents are encouraged to participate in various activities designed to educate, inspire, and connect. One of the key features of this campaign is the Resident Spotlight series. Homeowners and renters are invited to share photos and stories of their home improvement journeys - from full renovations to weekend DIY projects. Submissions will be accepted throughout the month and selected entries will be featured on Citywide platforms to showcase personal pride and neighborhood character unique to Long Beach. To submit your project, visit lbcity.info/nhim-spotlights.
