ICMA's Award for Programs for the Disadvantaged in Memory of Carolyn Keane recognizes a local government that has enhanced the quality of life for the disadvantaged, including homeless citizens and people with AIDS. In 2004, ICMA presented the award in the 10,000-to-49,999 category to the city of Apache Junction, Arizona, and city manager George R. Hoffman for the Mikki's House program. Mikki's House, in response to an increasing need for rehabilitated housing, provides residents with home rehabilitation information, lectures, and home-maintenance skill-building. This article describes the program's development and benefits. Learn more about ICMA's Annual Awards program.
