Coalition for Home Repair Launches New Podcast to Keep Home Repair Community Connected and Informed
Volunteer-led initiative brings conversations, insights, and perspectives from across the home repair field directly to listeners.
The Coalition for Home Repair (CHR) is launching a new podcast designed to keep home repair professionals, nonprofit leaders, and community partners connected and informed, wherever their work takes them.
Hosted by Heather Loveridge (Home Repairs Ministries) and Freyja Harris, the podcast will feature conversations with leaders, practitioners, and experts from across the home repair field. Episodes will explore emerging trends, industry challenges, innovative solutions, and the people and partnerships working to preserve homes and strengthen communities.
Recognizing that many home repair professionals spend their days in the field, traveling between projects, or balancing multiple responsibilities, the podcast offers an accessible way to stay connected to the broader home repair community.
The podcast is a volunteer-led project, made possible through the time, talent, and dedication of CHR members and supporters who recognized an opportunity to bring more voices and perspectives to the field.
"We know our members are busy doing the important work of keeping people safe and healthy in their homes. We wanted to create another way to connect, share ideas, and learn from one another, even when we're not all in the same room," said Freyja Harris, Coalition CEO. "This project is a great example of the collaboration and commitment that make our network so valuable."
CHR thanks the volunteers who helped bring the podcast to life, including Rachel Nelson (Home Repairs for Good), whose planning, development, and production helped turn the idea into reality, and Juan Carlos Dueweke-Perez, whose editing and production were key to getting the podcast in front of listeners.
The inaugural episode features a conversation between hosts Heather Loveridge and Freyja Harris and guest Carlos Martin, exploring the national landscape of home repair, including America's aging housing stock, demographic shifts, rising repair costs, and what CHR members are seeing across regions.
New episodes will feature conversations and perspectives relevant to the people and organizations working to advance home repair nationwide.
In the pilot season, the podcast can be found on YouTube and the Coalition for Home Repair website.
