Partner Qualifications

A Brush With Kindness is open to any homeowner in Bloomington-Normal. As a Christian housing ministry, Habitat believes in offering a hand up, not a handout. For this reason, partnering families must meet the following requirements:

1. Demonstrate a need through a property inspection and income guidelines
2. Be willing to partner by completing “sweat equity” on their project or another Habitat initiative
3. Must have the deed (or contract for deed) in their name and currently be living at the property
4. Have homeowner's insurance
5. The project must be paid off before construction begins

Donate

Your donations make house rehabilitation projects possible by covering the upfront costs. Your generosity allows A Brush With Kindness project loans to remain interest-free for homeowners as they invest in the future of their homes and neighborhoods.

Sponsor a Project

A Brush With Kindness sponsorships are a great opportunity “take ownership” of an entire project! Not only can you fund the initial costs of the repair, you can also work alongside a partner family. You will feel good knowing your contributions allowed a family to live more comfortably in their home.
