Housing

The Works, Inc. is dedicated to creating quality and affordable housing within the urban core of Memphis. We achieve this with our housing programs that include: mortgage loans, home improvement grants for homeowners, and acquisition and improvement of homes that are later offered for lease at affordable rates.

Our home improvement program offers grants that are intended to make improvements to the homes of homeowners specifically within the boundaries of: Jackson Ave, Watkins Street, Chelsea Ave. and Manassas St. These improvements are focused on; improving and sustaining safety on the home, implementing home energy efficiency upgrades, offering greater accessibility and freedom of independent moving and living, improving the physical structure of the property and comfort features that generally improve quality of life.
