Our mission is to rebuild homes, while rebuilding communities and lives. Our goal is to bring warmth, safety and independence to homeowners. Here in Hartford, we've been accomplishing this over the last 13 years thanks to thousands of volunteers and the kindness of many corporations, small businesses, community groups, trade organizations and faith based communities.
Locally, we have made a significant impact in Hartford's neighborhoods, rehabilitating more than 300 homes for low income Hartford homeowners who are elderly, people living with disabilities, and multigenerational families, as well as several non-profit facilities. This equates to a market value of more than $3 million in home improvements, home repairs and community revitalization projects in at-risk neighborhoods.
Four years ago, we introduced an emergency home repair program for the Hartford program to address the immediate home repair needs of low income Hartford homeowners. We also continued our educational workshops called “It’s My House” In these workshops, homeowners have the opportunity to come together in a safe and comfortable learning environment to learn how to take care of their homes in the most affordable, practical ways possible. These workshops have not only grown into an opportunity for learning, they have provided a deeper sense of community among participants.
