NRI - Building Communities Not Just Houses
Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative (NRI) is part of Habitat for Humanity International's (HFHI) initiative to
revitalize communities through additional programs. NRI is a fiscal year 2010 divisional objective for the US office. NRI
seeks to revitalize neighborhoods through A Brush With Kindness, Weatherization and Rehab. This continuum
of housing solutions allows us to help more low income families through simple exterior repairs (ABWK). Often low income homeowners
do not have the money to maintain their homes' exterior and make necessary repairs on their homes What little money they do
have must be spent on basic needs like food,clothing, mortgage, taxes, healthcare etc. Northern Ocean Habitat for Humanity
is pleased to announce that we have broadened our mission by offering a Brush With Kindness to low income families in our
community. Since April, we have performed "A Brush With Kindness" on 16 homes in our community.Northern Ocean
has since moved up the spectrum of NRI by completing an extensive rehabs throughout Ocean County. Click on the links
