OUR PHILOSOPHY: Through community outreach programs, Project Raise The Roof promotes home ownership, entrepreneurship, and community gardens in all areas of St. Louis City. PRTR is focused on raising the standard of living for St. Louis citizens by encouraging economic strength, affordable homes, and building neighborhood solidarity. We believe that direct access to information and opportunity can bring true progress to the City. OUR PROGRAMS: "Housekeeper" - For many St. Louis City residents who are a mere three years behind on property taxes, the LRA (Land Reutilization Authority) can seize the property and evict its owners. Each year, hundreds of St. Louis families face losing their homes. We work with City homeowners and businesses who owe delinquent property taxes to prevent their homes from becoming property of the LRA. "Welcome Home" - Many City residents would like to break the rent cycle and have the opportunity to own their own home for a low monthly cost. We offer no credit check zero-interest financing on home purchases to give economically disadvantaged families a chance to become home owners for under $9,000. "Home-Grown" - We are committed to supplementing urban families' existing food resources with long-term sustainable options. We offer City residents with a plot of unused vacant land and a garden start-up kit for $25 per year to enable them to grow their own fresh, local produce. (Sponsorships available for those who cannot afford annual cost.) HOW TO GET INVOLVED: Donate A Property - Do you own a home or vacant lot you don't have the time or inclination to maintain, or just don't want anymore? You can donate it to PRTR for a tax-deduction equal to “fair market value.” Revenue Share - Provide a percentage of the funds needed for us to acquire a property, then earn that same percentage of the final sale price once the house is rehabbed by PRTR and sold at increased market value. Sponsor A Family - Make a charitable donation to Project Raise The Roof's assistance fund to help an individual or family make payments on their taxes. Become A Volunteer - Help us spread the word by folding/passing out brochures, teach a class or workshop, or assist us in any number of ways. We always appreciate our volunteers!
