Goals for Property Buying and Remodeling

Acquire Undervalued or Vacant Properties

• Identify and purchase properties in neglected or underserved neighborhoods at below-market rates.

• Prioritize buildings that can be repurposed for affordable housing, community spaces, or transitional housing.

Provide Affordable, Safe, and Dignified Housing

• Remodel properties to meet health, safety, and accessibility standards.

• Offer renovated homes at affordable rates to low-income families, single mothers, seniors, or people in recovery.

Revitalize Communities

• Reduce neighborhood blight by turning abandoned or unsafe structures into productive spaces.

• Improve local property values and public safety by removing eyesores and hazards.

Create Economic Opportunities

• Employ local labor, including those reentering the workforce, in renovation projects.

• Use the remodeling process to train youth, veterans, or formerly incarcerated individuals in construction and maintenance trades.

Leverage Community Partnerships and Funding

• Work with city programs, land banks, donors, and grantmakers to expand access to properties and remodeling funds.

• Use partnerships to reduce renovation costs and increase project reach.
