Block Builds

 

Our Goal.

Block Builds are our signature program and central to our mission of revitalizing Philadelphia communities.

 
 

What We Do.

Held three times a year, our two day Block Builds mobilize hundreds of volunteers, neighbors and homeowners to repair homes in a neighborhood of focus.

 

We evaluate all of our houses from top to bottom and provide the repairs needed to improve accessibility, energy efficiency and health outcomes .

 

Carpet removal and floor installation

Light electrical and plumbing repairs

 
 

Drywall repairs

Painting and exterior refurbishment repairs
