A Brush with Kindness
A Brush with Kindness (ABWK) is a program that assists low-income families in repairing their homes so they can continue to live in safe, decent homes. We focus on assisting elderly, veteran families and those with limited mobility.
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 to keep costs low and take no profit for their services.
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.
