Neighborhood Revitalization

For families to succeed, sometimes the dynamics of their neighborhood have to change.

Neighborhood Revitalization is Habitat for Humanity’s holistic approach that expands upon its partnership with volunteers and homeowners to also include neighbors and local organizations for an increased impact.

While new home construction continues to play a vital role in Habitat’s work, additional tools include house repairs and other services that allow Habitat to serve even more families in communities.

As part of Neighborhood Revitalization, Habitat partners with homeowners in Brinnon and Quilcene to make necessary repairs. You can read a repair story here or learn how to apply for a repair here. Neighborhood Revitalization follows the same principles as Habitat’s new home construction. Families are selected based on their housing need, ability to repay a no-interest loan, and willingness to contribute sweat equity.

Habitat thanks our program sponsors US Bank and United Good Neighbors of Jefferson County; partners REPAH, the Boeing Bluebills, ECHO, and OlyCAP; and the wonderful volunteers who make repairs and staff the Quilcene Store.
