A Dream Realized: Rock the Block Piatt Begins!

After a year of dedicated effort, Wichita Habitat for Humanity is thrilled to announce the start of Rock the Block Piatt! We’ve worked diligently with the City of Wichita, navigating a competitive Affordable Housing Fund RFP process, to secure 16 homes previously part of the public housing stock. Now, the wait is over, and the real work begins.

This initiative marks a new chapter for northeast Wichita. Our dedicated team, along with our volunteers, are ready to roll up our sleeves and embark on a transformative journey. We are not just rehabilitating houses; we are building safe, affordable homes for families in need, and revitalizing a vital part of our community.

These photos offer just a glimpse of the incredible transformation happening on our construction site. Every swing of the hammer, every brushstroke of paint, represents a future filled with promise and opportunity.

How you can get involved:

We can’t do this alone. Your support is crucial to making Rock the Block Piatt a resounding success.

  • Volunteer: Roll up your sleeves and join the effort! Whether you’re a seasoned construction pro or a first-time volunteer, your hands-on help is invaluable.
  • Donate: Every dollar makes a difference. Your contributions will help cover the costs of materials, tools, and other essential resources while supporting our ongoing efforts.

Visit wichitahabitat.org to learn more about volunteering and donating.

We look forward to launching an official kick-off of Rock the Block Piatt in April! Stay tuned.

Let’s work together to build a brighter future for northeast Wichita, one home at a time.
