WASHINGTON — Army Sgt. Johnny Agbi’s narrow three-story rowhouse doesn’t look ideal for a disabled veteran. It’s perched on a small hill along a busy thoroughfare just blocks from the U. S. Capitol. There are steps leading to the front and rear doors.

Thanks to a $100,000 renovation, the first floor has been transformed, with wide entrances, a spacious kitchen with new appliances and a large, accessible bathroom.

First Lady Michelle Obama and Jill Biden, the wife of Vice President Joe Biden, visited Monday to help finish off the renovation, which was retrofitted through a charitable venture called Heroes at Home.

Agbi, 32, was the 1,000th veteran whose home was renovated under the program, which began in 2007 and is a joint venture between the nonprofit Rebuilding Together and Sears Holding Corp.
