Hope Renovations is a small nonprofit based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, operating in the construction sector. It runs a pre-apprenticeship training program designed to help underemployed women pursue living-wage jobs in construction trades. The organization also conducts repairs and renovations that enable older adults to stay safely in their homes as they age, with trainees gaining hands-on experience by working alongside an experienced crew. In addition, trainees receive social supports to help overcome barriers to employment. The nonprofit positions itself at the intersection of workforce development and aging-in-place home improvements, addressing both job preparation and home safety needs. In 2026, Minnesota Housing Partnership partnered with Hope Renovations to support aging-in-place work.
