A Brush with Kindness is a new program which complements Habitat’s core building program. It focuses on exterior home upkeep services such as painting, minor repairs, landscaping, and exterior clean-up for families who are unable to maintain their homes. This allows us to serve a different population than we currently serve, yet follows the same basic tenets for eligibility (need, ability to pay, willingness to partner).

This program is part of Habitat’s broader community development strategy; a holistic approach that assists communities as well as families. It revitalizes the appearance of the neighborhood, strengthens connections within the community, and most importantly, helps preserve and create affordable housing stock. During its first year, A Brush with Kindness will partner with homeowners in the Liberty City community. Check out our first project!

Sponsorships are available for corporations and organizations that wish to contribute to a specific project. Starting at $1,500, sponsorships also play an instrumental role in maintaining the program’s affordability.
