Porchlight specializes in revitalizing communities by developing new housing opportunities that respect and enhance the architectural integrity of their surroundings. Our efforts are focused on emulating the historic features of existing housing while ensuring modern compatibility and resilience. With each project, we foster a sense of pride, place, and community—values that are at the core of everything we do.
OAKLEIGHHISTORICDISTRICT
Mobile's Oakleigh Garden District is Porchlight's flagship community revitalization project. In 2016, Porchlight identified a sharp decline in home values and occupancy across several blocks. Porchlight selected a 16-block "focus area" to acquire vacant lots and properties, intentionally avoiding displacement. After purchasing over 40 properties, including those in tax sales and with clouded titles, Porchlight has redeveloped more than 20 housing units. The organization remains active in the Oakleigh community, continuing to redevelop vacant lots and blighted properties.
Bessemer
Porchlight was engaged to handle the complex acquisition of residential properties, many of which faced issues such as complicated heirship claims and tax delinquencies, resulting in clouded titles. To date, Porchlight has successfully facilitated the acquisition of over 130 properties within the Bessemer community. Porchlight continues to support redevelopment efforts by managing these properties and assisting in clearing titles for future residential development.
