HGTV
Change the World. Start at Home.
Favorite places — everyone has one. The towns we call home, the city we visited on our best vacation ever, somewhere our job sent us that we never expected to like — places that have the character to make us think, "I love that place." HGTV, in partnership with Rebuilding Together, the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the Natural Resources Defense Council selected numerous projects in nine beloved places to compete for resources to help revitalize their communities.
Congratulations to the winning cities:
Thanks to your vote, the winning cities will receive the support they will need to complete the goals of each project. Each community identified by Change The World is worthy of HGTV's sustained support. For those markets not selected by the public, HGTV will contribute funding to help support ongoing work in each community and will provide opportunities for local volunteers to get involved with the goal of project completion.
