The
Mission
A Brush with Kindness seeks to bring volunteers
together to live out their faith and values through helping
low-income homeowners restore their homes so they can continue
to live in a safe, decent and affordable home.
The
Vision
Habitat
has the opportunity to establish A Brush with Kindness in
our community as a way to connect volunteers
and their resources with opportunities to live out their
faith and values through restoring homes of at-risk homeowners.
The
Problem
A Brush
with Kindness began in response to an overwhelming need
in neighborhoods to help low-income homeowners
who because of age, disability or family circumstance struggle
to care for their home.
After years of deferred maintenance, homes fall into disrepair
and consequently fall into a
downward spiral of code citations, loss of homeowner insurance
and ultimately in mortgage
foreclosure that impact not just individual homeowners,
but entire neighborhoods.
A Brush with Kindness helps homeowners avoid issues that
can lead to losing their home.
The
Solution
A Brush
with Kindness relies on churches, businesses and community
organizations that contribute volunteers,
finances and materials to effectively serve homeowners in
need.
Don’t
hesitate to call – this is a great opportunity!!
