Block Home 16 Open House

We're thrilled to share that we opened the doors of our 16th BLOCK Home, a labor of real community love. It is our tradition each time we open a BLOCK Home to plant flower bulbs for the future resident who will find a home here. With each handful of soil, we shared dreams of stability, comfort, and new beginnings for those who will call this house their own.

Now it’s your turn - comment below to offer your own wishes of what this BLOCK Home will provide.

Huge appreciation to the neighbors who attended and brought a beautiful welcome home basket for this home’s resident. We're also excited that many new volunteers expressed how meaningful seeing the completed home is, and that they look forward to more engagement opportunities with us!

The combined efforts of our staff, volunteers, host, Eliza, and partners have made this 16th BLOCK home a reality. Our community blooms when we take care of our own.

Wow, it’s been a labor of true community love and power to bring together SUCH a beautiful BLOCK Home. We celebrated our 15th finish BLOCK Home last week and can’t wait to welcome home a new Resident.

In line with our new Open House tradition, we planted a bulb, and with each handful of dirt, offered a hope or dream for what this new house could provide for future residents.

Special thanks to all our volunteers, our new hosts JD and Anne, our construction staff for creating such a beautiful home in such a magical spot, and our partners Justin Polley of Masters Electric and the Dim Sum Crew for their pro bono electrical work, and Lane Lunasco, David Masi, Anthony Rogers and Craig Atkinson of Hermanson for their pro bono plumbing work. This collective work has made this home a reality!
