How to Get on HGTV Curb Appeal

Reality TV has evolved to include feel-good family programming. Some shows still focus on hard-hitting issues and drama, but HGTV's Curb Appeal awards deserving families across the nation with $20,000 home makeovers. The show's producers seek families with interesting stories to tell, and dilapidated homes to prove they are in need of assistance.
