New FoundationsInitiative, Inc.
We are building a local response for neighbors facing unsafe housing conditions and limited options for help.
New Foundations Initiative restores safety and dignity for elderly homeowners, disabled individuals, veterans, and families living in unsafe housing conditions who often fall outside traditional assistance programs.
Before NFI was formed, members of the team worked with organizations including the Center for Community Transformation. That experience helped shape a mission built around practical repairs and responsible local partnerships.
Service area: Eastern OKC, Choctaw, Nicoma Park, Harrah, and McLoud, Oklahoma.
Leadership transparency: Founder and director Bryan Ellette also owns Ellette Construction. Ellette supports NFI as a construction partner and may bid on grant-funded work when appropriate.
We prioritize households where a safe home is out of reach without community help.
Older neighbors facing critical repairs that affect safety, accessibility, or basic livability.
Homeowners and households dealing with unsafe conditions or accessibility barriers.
Households living with serious housing problems and limited access to traditional assistance.
A clear path from the first conversation to keys back in a safer house.
Families or referring partners submit a repair request with photos and basic household details.
Our team reviews eligibility, visits when needed, and scopes a realistic, safety-first project plan.
Volunteers and partners roll up their sleeves — materials, labor, and care focused on what matters most.
The family moves forward in a safer home — and the community gains another story of hope.
New Foundations Initiative bridges the gap by mobilizing skilled trades, volunteers, and community partners to restore safe homes and rebuild stability for families in need.— New Foundations Initiative mission
