The Colorado Springs Project

A Home Repair Ministry Of North Springs Alliance Church

Through volunteer work crews the North Springs Alliance Home Repair Ministry provides free home repairs for homeowners who are elderly, poor, shut-in, widowed, disabled or immobile.  Most live in substandard conditions and many are cited for building code violations facing the possibility of eviction if repairs are not completed. Projects include exterior and interior painting, repairing damaged walls and ceilings, hanging drywall, installing new toilets, constructing wheelchair ramps, clearing debris, re-pointing loose bricks, fortifying retaining walls, replacing doors, floors and windows, patching holes on rooftops and many other smaller jobs.  Our crews repair homes in neighborhoods throughout the City of Colorado Springs. Our work crews are not professional contractors.  They are made up of young people and adult leaders who volunteer to work on projects.  Crew members are volunteers of all ages who enjoy helping each other learn to serve and grow in their faith.  We aim to do good quality work.  Our leaders travel from worksite to worksite to deliver supplies, to encourage the team, help build bridges of friendship among the crew members and homeowner, and offer technical assistance to the crews.
