Our mission is to help build healthy neighborhoods by providing affordable housing opportunities and increasing the sustainability of existing housing in Kent County.

Our passion for this work is genuine, because we live here too. All of our Board members are residents of the areas we serve.

We build new homes on vacant lots, or buy dilapidated houses and bring them back to life. New Development Corporation homes all receive new electrical, mechanical, and plumbing systems. We remodel kitchens and bathrooms, replace drywall, insulation, siding, roofs, and windows. We remove all lead and asbestos hazards.

We couldn’t do this work so well without our passionate volunteers, who prove that our mission isn’t just about houses. It’s about neighborhoods, community, and the art and soul of helping each other.

Bank volunteers pull on work gloves and clear out houses. Neighbors donate plants from their gardens to flourish in the yards of our new homeowners.

We can’t wait to see who moves in next.
