October is Energy Awareness Month & Children’s Health Month!

At project:HOMES, we believe every family deserves a safe, efficient, and healthy home. This month, we're highlighting how our comprehensive services make that a reality:

⚡ Lowering Energy Bills: Through our Weatherization Assistance, Utility, and new Shared Solar programs, we provide no-cost upgrades like insulation, air sealing, LED lights, and HVAC replacements to boost comfort and cut costs.

🛡️ Protecting Youngest Residents: There is no safe blood lead level in children. Our statewide Lead Hazard Reduction Program provides income-eligible families, tenants, and landlords with free lead inspections, risk assessments, and critical repairs (like treating high-risk windows and doors) to prevent permanent developmental damage.

We hosted the Wells Fargo team at the project:HOMES warehouse for an incredible two-day ramp blitz!

The project:HOMES team recently partnered with Dominion Energy for a special hands-on volunteer project! 🤝⁠
⁠
Our team joined forces with Dominion employees to support Ms. B, a dedicated homeowner, mother, caregiver, and longtime community member who has lived in her home for nearly 30 years.⁠
⁠
While previous critical repairs by project:HOMES upgraded her electrical and plumbing, Ms. B still relied on inefficient space heaters and mold-prone window AC units. Thanks to Dominion’s EnergyShare Weatherization Program and some incredible teamwork, we helped step in to bring her the safe, energy-efficient comfort she deserves. 🏡⁠

Huge thanks to Altria Group for their incredible partnership and dedication to our community this summer and beyond! 🤝

Several groups of Altria employees have already rolled up their sleeves to volunteer with us on vital community projects, led expertly by Nick, our Volunteer Program Project Supervisor. A huge shoutout goes to Nick for his exceptional leadership and for guiding these teams to success!

Altria volunteers recently participated in installing an innovative manufactured home replacement unit designed by project:HOMES for residents of the Bermuda Estates Manufactured Home Park in Chester. Volunteers helped with both delivery-day setting and construction completion. This project provides sustainable homeownership for a current resident at risk of displacement due to a dilapidated home, continuing our unit replacement efforts in this community.

As our partnership continues to span across the next few months, Altria's contributions are only ramping up with a wide variety of upcoming volunteer opportunities. Stay tuned for more!

Have you seen this side of 2100 Bainbridge Street, our newest multifamily community? From this view, you can see a unique feature of the property: a historic carriage and train service structure, which has been thoughtfully preserved, upgraded, and transformed into an on-site community center and gathering space for our residents.

Completed this past spring, 2100 Bainbridge Street offers modern, beautifully designed one- and two-bedroom apartment homes tailored specifically for adults 55+ earning at or below 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI). Projects like this play a crucial role in expanding access to safe, high-quality homes while helping tackle the affordable housing crisis sweeping the nation.

If you or someone you know might be interested in living here, please reach out to Epoch Properties at (804) 918-0495 today to learn more about availability and qualifications.

Thanks to an incredible wave of community generosity, we had an amazing turnout at the Bermuda Estates back-to-school bash! We are happy to report that every single school supply found a home, leaving none behind.

This success wouldn't have been possible without our wonderful partners and supporters:
-Backpack Buddies in Charlottesville generously donated 40 backpacks completely filled with school supplies.
-Cinema Cafe - Chester donated 10 movie tickets, which were handed out as a special treat to the first 10 families who arrived.
- Chester Library - Chesterfield County Public Library contributed string bags, fans, bubbles, magnets, and books to stock our Little Library.
-project:HOMES employees stepped up with generous donations of school supplies.
-A special private donation allowed us to purchase extra school supplies and hand out $25 Target gift cards to our high school students.

Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, and helped make this event such a huge success for our Bermuda Estates families. What a wonderful way to kick off the school year!

We are deeply grateful for the ongoing partnership and generous support of The Rotary Club of Richmond!

At a recent club luncheon, Tiffani spoke about how this collaboration fuels our Volunteer Services Program, with Brad joining her to celebrate our shared impact. project:HOMES highlighted how this support empowers us to make homes safer and more accessible across our community. To put the scale of the program into perspective during FY24 alone, we completed 925 home repair projects, including:

-322 critical home repairs
-182 wheelchair ramps
-174 temporary heating and cooling solutions

This partnership goes far beyond funding. Last year, Rotary members rolled up their sleeves directly in the field, installing 4 wheelchair ramps at clients' homes and constructing components for 24 additional ramps at our on-site workshop!

Thank you, Rotary Club of Richmond, for your dedication, exceptional generosity, and commitment to contributing to our mission of improving lives by improving homes.

Watch how our three-story, nine-unit modular apartment building on Mosby Street came together in a flash. While the stacking phase is complete, the remaining interior and exterior work continues as we bring this affordable housing project closer to the finish line.

Celebrating 50 years of keeping homes safe, warm, and energy-efficient! 🏡⚡

Our Energy Conservation team recently headed to Virginia Beach for the annual Virginia Weatherization Interchange, hosted by Community Housing Partners and sponsored by Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development.

It was an incredible opportunity to connect with fellow efficiency experts, dive into evolving weatherization standards, and celebrate a massive milestone: the 50th anniversary of the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP)!

Since 1976, WAP has lowered utility bills, improved indoor health, and upgraded thousands of homes. At project:HOMES, we are deeply proud to carry on this legacy and continue making a lasting impact right here in Virginia.
