We help Detroit homeowners stay in their homes.
From the Heart is a Detroit-based nonprofit providing free minor home repairs to homeowners who need a hand but don’t have the means.
We focus on the small fixes that make a big difference — improving safety, dignity, and peace of mind so our neighbors can remain in the homes they love.
Across Detroit, small home issues turn into big problems fast.
A loose step.
A broken railing.
A furnace that barely works.
When money is tight, repairs get pushed off. Until staying is no longer an option.
We believe no one should have to leave their home because of a repair they couldn’t afford.
We provide free, non-structural home repairs that improve safety and everyday living conditions.
Common projects include:
Fixing steps, porches, and handrails
Installing smoke & carbon monoxide detectors
Minor plumbing and electrical repairs
Door and window fixes
Grab bars and small accessibility upgrades
Yard clean-ups and exterior safety improvements
Weatherproofing and winter prep
We work respectfully, carefully, and at no cost to the homeowner.
We are just getting started.
Building relationships. Identifying needs. Preparing our first projects across Detroit neighborhoods.
We’re currently finalizing our 501(c)(3) status. You can pledge your support today and we’ll follow up as soon as giving is available.
