Our Itaska House
Our Itaska house, underwent a HUGE transformation. From an over 10-year vacancy needing a complete overhaul, to becoming a family home in early May 2021, we are delighted how this turned out— especially for the new homeowner and for his neighbors as well.
This sweet 2 bed, 1 bath bungalow on a busy corner in the heart of Dutchtown, has updated kitchen and bath, new systems, appliances, deck, fencing and landscaping. The ceilings are HIGH, the light is bright, the space is efficient and open– a gem.
Our Idaho House
While it had been vacant for a few years, it was clear this had at one time been a well-loved home. Unfortunately, it had fallen into disrepair. But with the proper attention inside and out (it now boasts a BEAUTIFUL yard), the new homeowner begins a wonderful journey here.
Located on a lovely and quiet block in Dutchtown South, this 2 bedroom, 1 bath bungalow is full of character and historic touches, including a french door with paned glass, curved archway, and fireplace. It boasts new and fully landscaped front and backyard including a new fence, and raised beds, with young tomatoes!

Our 3rd Alaska House!
The journey of seventh home is a story we are very proud of. We met the homeowner (then a renter) on the day of a neighborhood cleanup we sponsored on the block with several of our homes. Before long, conversation lead to action–we collaborated with her to purchase her residence from her landlord, with all the usual benefits of our Homebuyer support. Renovations on this project took place post-sale, which presented a wonderful opportunity for us to deepen our relationship with this homeowner.
This 2 bedroom, 1 bath home features newly refinished, original hardwood floors. With fresh paint, all new appliances, and new landscaping in the front and backyard, this new homeowner is set to enjoy her home for years to come.
Our Alabama House
This formerly 1 bedroom/1 bath home was a long time vacancy, suffering from years of neglect. Collaborating with The Neighborhood Vacancy Initiative, Dutchtown South Community Corporation, Alderman Shane Cohn and Tower Grove Neighborhoods CDC, SJHI secured ownership and transformed this neighborhood eyesore to a beautiful, 2-bedroom home for the first-time homeowner and her young daughter.
Thanks to a new floorplan and brand new addition, this is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath home. Featuring a first-floor laundry unit next to the bedrooms, the house received many updates including a new kitchen with all new appliances. It also retained several charming features including refinished hardwood floors, pocket doors and a beautiful, built-in hutch. With new sod and landscaping in the back and side yard and a new wood fence, the homeowner (an avid gardener) and her young child can enjoy their outdoor home space as well.

Lovingly owned by a family for many years, SJHI is giving this 2 bedroom, 1 bath home a fresh floor plan and needed updates.

Our 5th Alaska House!
Under Renovation!
This house is on the same block as 4 previous SJHI homes. SJHI was approached by the owner after the back wall of this home collapsed. After assisting him to find affordable senior housing and working together with his former lender, Wells Fargo, SJHI eventually acquired the home. The property has been cleaned, tuckpointed and inner demolition completed, along with securing the hole in the back, and work continues. Not only will this become an opportunity for a family to become first-time homeowners, the entire neighborhood will benefit from the improvement of this property.
