Restoring Homes. Rebuilding Lives.

A mission by History Loves Company and HLC Apparel Co. to bring purpose back to preservation.

The Mission

The Forever Home Project bridges two passions: historic preservation and personal recovery.

We partner with local organizations to restore Michigan’s historic homes while creating job opportunities and rebuilding lives.

Each home we save represents a second chance — for the building, and for the people who bring it back to life.

The Forever Home Project bridges two passions: historic preservation and personal recovery.

We partner with local organizations to restore Michigan’s historic homes while creating job opportunities and rebuilding lives.

Each home we save represents a second chance — for the building, and for the people who bring it back to life.

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Identify vacant or at-risk historic properties in Pontiac and nearby communities.
  2. Partner with recovery programs to train and employ participants in restoration.
  3. Fund projects through apparel sales, donations, and community sponsorships.
  4. Restore homes, revive neighborhoods, and rebuild pride in Michigan’s heritage.

WHY IT MATTERS

For many in recovery, purpose is the missing piece.

By connecting hands-on craftsmanship with historic preservation, we help people find pride and progress in their work.
