Project Raise The Roof

We work with St. Louis citizens and community leaders to prevent homelessness, energize local economy, strengthen neighborhoods, and end the decay of our City's historic structures. Through community programs focusing on education, entrepreneurship, and home ownership opportunities, we help urban families become more sustainable, productive, and informed. People over property.

Mr. C Receives 0% Loan to Keep Childhood Home

Saturday, May 23, 2015

Last summer (2014), Tower Grove South house Mr. C grew up in—and eventually inherited—was on the City’s auction block over just a few hundred dollars in back taxes. Project Raise The Roof was able to hook him up with a generous 0%-interest one year loan (courtesy of Vroman Industries), just in time to remove it from the Sheriff’s tax sale list. This evening, Mr. C made his final payment, and his home is still in the family!
