Keeping Homes, Families, and Communities Strong
The Crutch Foundation is a grassroots 501(c)(3) nonprofit. It is family-founded and operated for the benefit of other American families, right here, in the USA.
Our mission is simple, yet ambitious: – Keep American properties in the hands of everyday American people and families.
what we do
We step in where it matters most—helping homeowners overcome challenges that threaten their ownership and independence.
Through affordable-to-free home repairs, renovations, and energy efficiency improvements, we give families a fighting chance to stay rooted in their homes.
But our work doesn’t stop at the front door.
We also support small businesses, because strong local economies are the backbone of strong communities.
how we do it
We haven’t taken government grants—we rely on people like you and local businesses to fuel this mission.
When you give, you aren’t just making a donation — you’re making an investment in your community’s future.
Your support makes the difference between a house falling into foreclosure and a family staying secure in the home they love.
People simply helping people, the way it’s meant to be.
Please join us in making The Crutch Foundation a great resource to Your Communities.

Americans are being stonewalled
There are many organizations building homes overseas and creating low-income rental apartments here in the USA.
Americans have a long history of helping people in need, here and abroad.
But another story is unfolding…
Seniors and families across our country are losing their homes and independence as they struggle with the cost of heating, cooling, taxes, necessary maintenance, and renovations.
Sudden illness, accidents, challenges of advancing age or economic hardship are often the last straw, causing homeowners to collapse, while trying to also maintain their homes.
As seniors and families lose pride of ownership, neighborhoods decline, becoming less desirable, creating instability and hopelessness.
When banks and mortgage companies repossess homes, they are often sold in large bundles. This practice ensures only corporations (foreign and domestic) can buy them.
The rise of corporate ownership
Foreign buyers spent $1.1 trillion on 1.24 million U.S. homes between 2009 and 2024, and by 2021, investors grabbed 24% of single-family homes.
By 2030, up to 60% of homes may be owned by corporations, pushing the country towards being a rental state, destroying the dream of ownership, independence, and generational wealth.
The time to be concerned for ourselves and future generations is now while something can still be done.
we the people
Personal Home Ownership, and generational wealth, ensures balance between "We the People", the Government, and Corporations
Homes lost by families and seniors often end up beyond the reach of other families and regular people forever.
Helping ourselves and those we care about survive life’s challenges, without losing our homes, serves all of us.
Keeping American Families in American Homes
The Crutch Foundation was created to preserve the family and home.
As a family-founded and operated 501(c)(3) nonprofit with four generations of construction experience, we understand the struggles of American homeowners, because we live it like you.
Our mission is to help other families overcome challenges that threaten their ownership, while finding pathways to lasting stability.
Together, we can help each other get over the rough patches and stabilize life, so our loved ones and neighbors may-
- Save homes
