The momentum is building! Work is continuing this week on this home for one of our very first families. Framing and insulation/sealants are currently in progress, and we’ve brought in extra hands to keep things moving forward. We’re thrilled to be making steady progress toward completing this beautiful home for the well-deserving Smith Family! 🙌🏾🏡

The crew is putting in some serious work up on the roof of our very first BRF client home this week, and it’s looking awesome! 🛠️ First up, welding the shipping containers together with steel flashing has sparks flying💥, metal bonding, the whole show. Then, out comes the grinders to smooth things down like pros. Once that’s done, they go in with a heavy-duty, superhero-strength caulk to lock out any sneaky water or moisture. 💦🛡️ And next week the grand finale? A few coats of ultra-tough marine paint to seal the deal and make this roof ready for anything Mother Nature throws its way! 🌧️☀️❄️

BREAKING NEWS!!!!

THIS JUST IN!!!!

Just a few weeks ago, we celebrated a powerful milestone, breaking ground on the very first Building Roots home for a remarkable and deserving family. I had the joy of walking alongside the Smith family as we selected the perfect lot and brought their vision for a home to life. Ms. Smith later partnered with our incredible purchasing manager, Lauren, to choose every detail, paint colors, floors, cabinets, and countertops, infusing their future home with love and personality.

Soon after, the foundation was laid in place, both literally and figuratively. And this week, something extraordinary happened: the containers arrived. Watching them be placed was more than construction; it was transformation. Our team is moving full speed ahead, pouring their hearts into making this house a home.

This is more than just one build. It’s the beginning of something bigger; a future filled with hope, stability, and dignity for families who need it most. We’re just getting started, and we couldn't be more inspired by what's ahead.

🌱 From Vision to Reality: The Birth of Building Roots Foundation (BRF) 🛠️🏡

After we receive the stamped architecture and engineered plan set back, our construction team gets to work. The foundation stem walls are poured into place along with plumbing lines. The team then brings in the appropriate number of shipping containers to the site and places them squarely in the foundation walls. Once the containers are all in place they are locked in place and then welded down to the foundation using steel plates that are embedded into the cement walls. After this is done the team then starts welding the containers together to make one solid exterior. As this this happening, they are also running plumping lines through the floors, and cutting out the interior container walls, and creating doors and window openings for additional work to be done on the inside of the soon-to-be home.

Last week, BRF witnessed the power of connection and collaboration! Executive Director Demetrius Bell joined forces with Gerald Scott, Founder of the STAAR Foundation (www.staarfoundation.org), and Pastor Juan Price for a triumphant ribbon-cutting ceremony at the MIGHT Community Center's McMahon S212 Guest House in Lawton, Oklahoma. This beacon of hope will provide a safe haven for young men transitioning out of foster care, empowering them to thrive. We're thrilled to explore potential partnerships with MIGHT CDRC, a faith-based nonprofit dedicated to equipping individuals and families with life skills. The outpouring of support from local organizations, including the mayor, was a testament to the community's commitment to positive change.

Demetrius also attended the ReMerge We 🩷 Our Community Partners event for a presentation on what they are doing, and where they're headed which includes adding on a graduate center to help better serve those moms who have graduated from the program. Demetrius was overjoyed to be able to reconnect with some of his former OKDHS coworkers Alethea Satterwhite, Tara Shaw, and Sabrina Bryant who are service on the ReMerge team. ReMerge’s mission is to restore mothers and families through a comprehensive diversion program of treatment, recovery, and hope. ReMerge of Oklahoma County is a pre-trial diversion program that serves high-risk, high-needs mothers facing non-violent felony offenses in Oklahoma County. They are a non-profit dedicated to restoring women to their families and our community. We seek to impact Oklahoma’s high rate of female incarceration and to serve as a model to the power of rehabilitation (www.remergeok.org).

The future looks bright as we forge ahead with new collaborations and partnerships to uplift deserving communities. What's next for BRF? The possibilities are endless!

🌱 From Vision to Reality: The Birth of Building Roots Foundation (BRF) 🛠️🏡

What started as a dream to help hardworking single moms—an idea to create affordable housing, build sustainable communities, and empower at-risk youth and others—has grown into Building Roots Foundation (BRF). Founded by the Baugh and Bell families here in Oklahoma, BRF isn’t just about homes and renewable energy; it’s about hope, opportunity, and change.

We started from the ground up, fueled by passion and a commitment to make a real difference. From innovative modular shipping container homes with renewable solar energy to workforce training programs, every Foundation laid and every life touched is a step closer to a brighter future. Starting with a family meeting, drafting out what the family needs in a home of their own, locating land based on where the family wants to live, and then laying the Foundation is how the BRF process starts...more of our story to come.

✨ Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey so far. The Roots are growing, and we can’t wait to see what we’ll be Building together.
