Rock the Block

Habitat Oakland County’s Rock the Block program is part of our Neighborhood Revitalization effort which offers minor exterior home repairs to homeowners in specific focus areas of Oakland County. Repairs are completed by volunteers and sponsors under the guidance of Habitat Oakland.

Habitat Oakland County will host 4 Rock the Block events in 2022.  These events involve 12 – 15 simultaneous projects taking place over a two-day period in a focus neighborhood

2022 Eligibility Rules

In efforts to further spread our mission to more of our community members, we have implemented a new eligibility rule for 2022. Previous Rock the Block program participants are now eligible for services every other year. This rule has been established to reduce the number of repeat participants each year.

For example, Rock the Block participants who received services in 2021, are eligible for services again in 2023.

Any questions can be directed to the Partner and Community Programs Department at (248) 338-1843 ext. 200.

Homeowner Quotes

I am so blessed to have been a part of the Habitat event. I have never been involved in something like this before and it was a wonderful eye awakening. It broadened my mind on things. I never knew that there were such wonderful people out there that just want to help others. I never thought I’d be on the receiving end of that kindness. People that I tell about the event are amazed that Habitat does projects like this. Habitat does make a difference. This project made a huge difference to me. I have never experienced such a great group of people before. Everyone and everything was positive. The event was filled with joy and friendship, there was no negativity around.
I am very, very thankful for the volunteers. I truly appreciate their help. One woman was so kind; she paid extra attention to detail and encouraged me to paint a small part on the steps that made a big difference! I was moved that she would take the time to point this extra detail out to me and help me get it done. This wasn’t even her house, and she cared just like it was! It was like working alongside longtime friends and family. We had such a great time. We listened to music, we laughed and we enjoyed each other’s company.
