A small but mighty community-based nonprofit brought together by Portland native Randal Wyatt. Together we renovate and revive Black-owned homes and businesses in the face of gentrification in the Portland metro area. Join our mission!
Here's a brief overview of how our Home Improvement Program operates! Homeowners sign up for services, we raise funds through donations and grants, and hire contractors to complete the requested work, completely free for the homeowner! Thank you for your support.

This year’s Holiday Family Adoption was a massive success! 🥳
The highlights:
⁃ Two families served for a total of 12 individuals!
⁃ Over 175 gifts/holiday assistance! 🎁
⁃ ~ $6,000*+ worth of supplies and assistance
Let's keep this energy going again this year! Thank you all for the support!
Every homeowner has unique needs, and our Home Improvement program welcomes these, working alongside the homeowner to accurately address their specific requests. Your support in this new year allows our homeowners to literally take ownership of their property, like this homeowner!

At the end of October, around 1 in 6 Oregonians will lose their SNAP food benefits. We are highlighting some of the food assistant resources we are aware of in the Portland metro area. Please share these resources to extend the reach and support the organizations so they can increase their impact!
If you haven’t yet, we would love to see you out there with us at a volunteer event! Overgrown and cluttered yards can often be the target of nuisance or negligence complaints and can be used as a gentrification tactic to push homeowners out of their home. Join us in helping prevent that! 🌷
This recent project is just in time for the rainy season and the upcoming winter! A heavy tree branch had fallen into this homeowner's roof, damaging it & causing a significant leak. This project was important for the wellbeing of the homeowner & their house. Your donations make this possible! TY
Our newest completed Home Improvement Project! The homeowner owns a small-business, that is run out of her home. The back deck was rotting, creating a safety hazard for her and her customers. The deck was fully redone, and handrails added for the safety and success and her and her business! Go team!
Our recent garden bed project is finished! In a workshop, students with Blueprint Foundation built wooden garden beds for our homeowners.
Our volunteers then went and installed and filled the garden beds with flowers/veggies. Thank you all for making this project possible!

This week was National Nonprofit Day! Between the uncertainty causing folks to dial down their spending and the federal funding cuts, it’s been a tough year for nonprofits.
We are working to build our online presence to allow for more feedback from you! This is important for building partnerships through trust. Using Starloop, a tree will be planted for every review written!
Use the link to leave a review and plant a tree! We deeply appreciate it :)
