The lack of safe housing in lower-income, Black, and Brown communities affected by gentrification or economic disinvestment perpetuates inequity across the city. It also exacerbates health problems. So Yachad addresses both issues head-on, assisting homeowners who lack the resources to make critical home repairs. With the help of skilled local tradespeople, it ensures that more multi-generational households have functioning kitchens with working appliances, plumbing and electrical systems in good condition, and resilient roofs. Staff assist homeowners in applying for public resources like weatherization and energy efficiency services. While homes are under repair, they also educate homeowners on finances, future repairs, and more. Serving over 140 people annually, Yachad helps neighbors create healthier houses and build wealth at the same time, allowing more families to have a stable place to call home for generations to come.
