Housing Greensboro always has a waiting list of low income families in need of a home repair to make their home warmer, safer and drier. These needed repairs could not be accomplished without the financial and volunteer support of the Greensboro community each year through full or partial sponsorship of the work. Housing Greensboro works with employers, faith organizations, civic groups, trade associations and foundations to Adopt-a-Project. This sponsorship helps to restore hope and dignity to one family at a time living in substandard housing conditions.

The average home repair project costs around $7,500 which covers all materials, supplies, subcontractor costs and staff labor to lead the projects. Our typical projects take about 3 volunteer work days to complete with a day for demolition, a day for putting it back together and the final day for putting the finishing touches on the work completed. You will be responsible for recruiting the volunteers from your group for the scheduled days of the repair, and Housing Greensboro takes care of the rest. Our construction leaders make sure that all supplies and tools are on site, and they are ready to instruct and lead the work for the day for your group of volunteers.

If your group can not sponsor the entire cost or volunteer time required to complete home repair, we will try to find a partner organization to sponsor the project with your group. To discuss how your group can Adopt-a-Project and make a difference in a family’s life, please contact the Executive Director at (336) 676-6986.
