Life Remodeled

Mission: To bridge people across divides to help transform each other’s lives.

Life Remodeled is a Detroit based non-profit that exists to remodel lives, one neighborhood at a time. We believe our projects are exceptionally valuable, but people are priceless. The people we serve and those we serve alongside matter more than the processes and the products. We believe in looking beyond the way things may appear and seeing what could be. We believe in taking the form of servants who value others over ourselves. We do so with confidence and relentless determination. We believe in investing in work that has strong potential for sustainability, and we work strategically towards that end.

We exist to bridge people across divides to help transform each other’s lives – investing approximately $5 million in cash, labor and materials into one Detroit neighborhood each year. Projects are determined by the community’s needs and vision, and we assist in three areas: Remodeling a community asset, repairing owner-occupied homes, and mobilizing 10,000 volunteers to beautify 300 city blocks in six days. Throughout the process of unifying for a common mission, participants begin to realize how much they respect and need each other, which is a catalyst for long-term relationships and partnerships.
