A Brush with Kindness
A Brush with Kindness (ABWK) is a program that assists low-income families in repairing and renovating their homes so they can continue to live in safe, decent homes.
​
A Brush with Kindness projects include painting, landscaping, carpentry, and critical repair services that meet the criteria of aging in place.
How does the program work?
-
Habitat selects partner families based on income, need, and willingness to partner.
-
Habitat affiliates use volunteer labor and donated materials to keep costs low and take no profit for their services.
-
A no-interest loan is made to the homeowner to cover the cost of the project.
-
This program would not be possible without the generosity of community grants and sponsors.
Why does Habitat for Humanity offer these exterior maintenance services?
-
Families live in safe and well-maintained homes.
-
Neighborhoods are revitalized.
-
Community connections are made.
-
Affordable housing inventory is preserved and our most vulnerable are allowed to age in place with dignity.
