Breaking economic and spiritual poverty FR purchases and remodels houses. Simultaneously we attract residents to the trades, teaching them job skills.
We provide class instruction and on the job training in the remodeling process, leading to full time positions in the trades. Through this overall process we teach and mentor life skills and a christian perspective of life and purpose. As a consequence, we offer affordable, desirable homes for rent and eventually sale, to these individuals progressing and obtaining employment, as well as to others. These men and women, residents of Franklinton, are learning the ways of the ultimate Carpenter.
