community revitalization partnerships (crp)

Rebuilding Together’s Community Revitalization Partnerships (CRP) model shapes how we maximize investment in communities beyond housing, focus our home repair and rehab work in targeted neighborhoods, and collaborate with residents, volunteers, municipalities, nonprofits, businesses, foundations, and other partner organizations to support safe, healthy, and thriving communities.

Rebuilding Together is activating cross-sector partnerships and leveraging corporate philanthropy to improve the health and safety of homes while improving community infrastructure and spaces such as parks, schools, community centers and nonprofit facilities.

This model calls on Rebuilding Together affiliates to adopt a deeper and longer-term focus at the neighborhood level. By targeting our service delivery in specific neighborhoods and aligning our work more closely with other nonprofit service providers, Rebuilding Together can improve the health and safety conditions of entire neighborhoods, not only individual homes.

Huey and Angelina Wilson Foundation Place Based Community Revitalization Project

Rebuilding Together Baton Rouge, in partnership with the Huey and Angelina Wilson Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, and Urban Restoration Enhancement Corporation, embarked on a groundbreaking project to revitalize our community through comprehensive home rehabilitation. This collaboration, the first of its kind in the Baton Rouge area, focused on transforming the lives of homeowners by addressing critical health and safety concerns in over six homes.

The project involved extensive work, including the removal of hazardous lead-based paint and asbestos, roof repair and replacement, foundation stabilization, and other essential renovations. By combining our resources and expertise, we ensured that these homes not only meet safety standards but also provide a secure and healthy environment for the families who live in them.

This initiative reflects our commitment to community development and showcases the power of collaboration in making lasting, positive change. Together, we are building stronger neighborhoods and a brighter future for Baton Rouge.
