Our mission is to build blighted neighborhoods into beautiful and beloved neighborhoods.

One of Building Shalom’s participants not only graduated from the program last Thursday—but closed on her home this past Tuesday. 🏡✨
Congratulations, Brittany!!! 🎉👏🏾 It has truly been a joy to walk alongside you on this journey. Just know—we’re always here and will continue to seek and support your well-being 🤝🏾💛
Another homeowner for the record. 📖🏠
Although it is little by little, we hope it will be hundreds—if not thousands 🙏🏾—as we continue to work faithfully, day in and day out, for the flourishing of our neighbors and neighborhoods. 🌱🏡
🎉🎓 Congratulations to Our Latest Cohort! 🎓🎉
Last Thursday evening we gathered for an incredible night filled with great food 🍽️, laughter 😂, joy ❤️, and the gift of simply enjoying one another’s company. It was a beautiful time celebrating the hard work, commitment, and perseverance this amazing cohort has demonstrated over the past 12 months. 👏🏾✨
Each participant has invested countless hours learning, growing, and preparing for the future—and we could not be more proud of what they have accomplished. 💪🏾📚🏡
This cohort was especially meaningful because it was led by Lauren Swinson, one of our very own program graduates who has now come full circle to teach, mentor, and guide a new cohort through the same 12-month journey she once completed herself. 🙌🏾🎓➡️👩🏾🏫 Watching participants grow into leaders who pour back into others is one of the most beautiful things about this community. ❤️
But the most beautiful part of this celebration is that graduation is not the finish line—it’s the starting line. 🚀
Our participants leave this program equipped with knowledge, tools, and confidence to continue flourishing in their lives and communities. 🌱🏠 And even more importantly, they remain connected to a community that is committed to walking with them, cheering them on, and supporting their continued growth. 🤝🏾💛
To our newest graduates:
Congratulations! We celebrate you today and look forward to all that lies ahead. 🎊🎉
Your journey is just beginning, and we can’t wait to see you flourish. 🌿✨

Your future deserves a solid foundation. Let’s build it — together.
🏠✨ The Homes of Shalom campaign wasn’t just about filling homes—it was about restoring dignity, hope, and neighborhoods.
🤝⛪🏢🏡 With contributions from churches, businesses, households, adults, and children, we raised over $10,000 💛 and filled hundreds of Homes of Shalom, helping families flourish 🌱 and transforming spaces once marked by blight into places of beauty and belonging 🌼🏘️

It’s a new year, and we’re building—little by little 🧱✨
While we haven’t posted since Christmas, A LOT of good work has been happening behind the scenes!
On MLK Day, we were grateful to welcome the Men’s Soccer Team from Wesleyan University ⚽🙌, who helped finish landscaping at our most recently completed housing project 🌱🏠 (more on that coming soon!).
Our program participants also gathered for the first workshop of the new year 📚💡—starting 2026 with focus, growth, and momentum.
And our affordable rental partnership with Self-Help continues to move forward 🤝🏘️—we’re excited about what’s taking shape!
Step by step, we’re building something meaningful—for people, families, and our community ❤️✨
