St. Joseph Housing Initiative

At St. Joseph Housing Initiative, every vacant house we renovate becomes a lasting foundation for a family’s future. Your gift supports transformative home renovations, from new roofs to plumbing to fresh finishes- making it possible for first-time homebuyers of low to moderate income to build wealth and invest in their futures through homeownership.

What does a transformative home renovation look like?

At SJHI, it means more than a coat of paint. Each home we renovate is thoughtfully transformed from top to bottom, including:

• Structural stabilization

• A new roof
• New, energy-efficient windows
• Tuckpointing to preserve historic character
• Updated plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems
• Fresh drywall, framing, and finishes
• Modern kitchens and baths with new fixtures

Every donation helps cover the real, significant costs behind these renovations and brings a family one step closer to a place they can proudly call home.
