A Ripple Effect

TCF's work has a positive and lasting effect on the people and the communities in which we work. Renovating blighted structures increase area property values and generate new property taxes.

Supportive Housing

• Homes for individuals and families who may otherwise be homeless.
• Providing jobs for local contractors when renovating homes.
• Less reliance on emergency care for individuals with disabilities.
• A study of 5,000 homless people with mental illness shows that supportive housing saves taxpayers more than $16,000 a year per person in the use of public health services, hospitals, shelters and jails.

Home Ownership

• Provide low income families with the dream of owning a home.
• Create stability in the communities.
• Bring new/increased tax revenues to the cities and towns.
• Increased property values in the community.
• Remove blight from neighborhoods.
