About Us

BrightHeart Homes is dedicated to supporting environmentally responsible affordable housing solutions. We combat developers who remove established, large canopy trees. Through proactive plan design and education, affordable housing can be built and our shade can be saved.

Who We Are

The BrightHeart Foundation is dedicated to honoring the memory of our beloved grandfather, a remarkable individual and World War II Veteran. Despite his incredible strength and resilience, he reached a point where he required assistance to maintain a high quality of life during his later years. As a family, we found ourselves grappling with the challenges of providing care while juggling the demands of our busy lives. Our grandfather took pride in his cherished home, meticulously maintained property, and the magnificent trees he planted back in 1951. All he wished for was to spend his remaining days in the comfort of his own home.

Through this deeply personal experience, we became aware of the plight faced by many individuals who find themselves without secure housing and lacking the support necessary to maintain a decent quality of life. Witnessing this heartbreaking reality ignited a desire within us to make a difference. The BrightHeart Foundation was born out of our commitment to assisting those who are not blessed with stable housing and who possess specific needs requiring innovative solutions and a proactive approach.
