A decade of change, Restoration Housing has been transforming neglected homes in Roanoke to build a healthier community.
The historic properties are then used to support families and adults by giving them a safe, dignified place to live.
Restoration Housing CEO Isabel Thornton joined Here @ Home to explain how they have upheld their mission over the last 10 years.
Restoration Housing does not flip houses, but instead it maintains the properties in order to offer tenants a reliable landlord.
The nonprofit has been celebrating a decade with a new website and recent 10th Anniversary celebration.
Looking to the future more projects are in the works, including the Trinity United Methodist Church annex building which will be repurposed to create 15 affordable rental units for seniors.
The next event will be the Preserve Campaign – Preserving History, Serving Community that will include an in-person luncheon on Sept. 19 at Charter Hall in the City Market Building. Those tickets will go on sale July 23.
