Brothers Redevelopment, Inc (BRI) respectfully requests support for our Paint-A-Thon (PAT) program in the Pikes Peak region. The PAT program delivers essential services including exterior home painting, minor repairs, and yard maintenance for low-income homeowners aged 60 and above, as well as those with disabilities. The cost of painting a home’s exterior can exceed $5,000 – a prohibitive expense for individuals on fixed incomes. Our programs address this need by mobilizing dedicated volunteer groups from March through October each year to provide these services at no cost to the homeowners. To ensure the successful delivery of PAT services, we actively recruit civic-minded volunteers committed to enhancing the lives of low-income seniors and disabled individuals. Our PAT staff meticulously coordinates with homeowners in need, volunteer teams, and ensures the provisions of necessary materials and additional labor to facilitate the Paint-A-Thon. Through collaborative effort, we strive to create a lasting impact on the lives of vulnerable community members, improving their quality of life and maintaining the integrity of their homes.
Founded in 1971, Brothers Redevelopment, Inc (BRI) is driven by a mission to provide essential housing repairs for low-income households in Southwest Denver. This commitment has fostered a strong sense of
volunteerism and community spirit, united by the common goal of assisting neighbors with home painting, vital health and safety repairs, and connections to services that enhance their quality of life and enable long-term residency. This mission has been integral to our operations for over 50 years, and it continues to shape our work at every level of the organization. Today, BRI serves over 40,000 individuals annually through housing provision and various housing programs. Our primary service areas include Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Boulder, Denver, Douglas, Jefferson, and El Paso counties. In recent years, our services have expanded statewide, addressing housing challenges faced by many of Colorado’s
64 counties.
