We know that low-income families face many challenges and we believe that one of the first steps to moving forward is working to create a more stable and sustainable home environment. Often that starts with addressing critical repairs that a homeowner is not able to afford. But at Community Homeworks we are committed to connecting homeowners to resources and opportunities to make more lasting change.
Founded in 2009 with the goal of closing the gaps in post-purchase support for low income homeowners in Kalamazoo County, Michigan, Community Homeworks’ programs are designed to help keep people in their homes and develop homeowner self-sufficiency while ensuring that their homes are safe, decent and sustainable.
Our programs provide a comprehensive package of solutions for making housing affordable, comfortable, and secure. Programs are critical home repairs and education workshops on home maintenance and repairs.
Community Homeworks provides the resources to our neighbors to make necessary repairs affordable, to provide long-term reduction in housing costs through energy savings, and to make homes safer and healthier.Â
During the 2023 program year, our organization had the following results:
No person is excluded from agency services, employment or volunteer participation because of ethnicity, race, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, economic circumstance, physical and/or mental abilities/characteristics, philosophy/religion, or any other discriminatory reasons.
Furthermore, it is contrary to the policy of Community Homeworks (CHW) for any persons to be discriminated against in employment, housing or participation in publicly funded programs because of race, color, national origin, ethnic or religious background, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital or familial status, height, weight, disability, veteran status or any other class protected by law, in accordance with all federal and state laws.
