Neighborhood Revitalization Program
|
The Neighborhood Revitalization Program serves more families by responding to community aspirations with an expanded array of products, services and partnerships, empowering residents to revive their neighborhoods and enhance the quality of life. |

Although Habitat for Humanity is known for building new homes, Neighborhood Revitalization addresses the need for more adequate housing and healthier living conditions through home repair and community engagement. Neighborhood Revitalization helps ensure that families are living in safe and maintained homes. The goal is to keep homeowners in their existing homes, protect their financial investment and restore pride of homeownership.
