Revitalizing Community. One Piece at a Time.


There will be a new look on an old house at 2232 5th Avenue in Troy. TRIP recently purchased this four-unit, architecturally-interesting but long-neglected building. We are in the process of doing a complete rehabilitation of the building with plans for a ribbon-cutting in Spring 2011.

We believe in the value of one in community revitalization: that the transformation of one blighted building into a productive, viable property benefits the entire block; that investment in one building can encourage other property owners to invest as well; that a well-cared look of a building can attract renters who likewise want to take care of it.

TRIP could not help to revitalize Troy's communities without its many partners over the past four decades of our existence. We appreciate the support from so many people, organizations, and companies. And we hope that you will continue this support by making a donation today. Thank you.

A huge THANK YOU goes out to TRIP's many supporters in 2010! Your gift to TRIP helps  improve Troy by rehabilitating blighted buildings, creating and educating new homeowners, preventing foreclosures, making available high quality affordable apartments to families, providing home repairs to seniors, assisting landlords, and supporting neighborhood groups. golden gift


Furthermore, donations to TRIP are investments directly into our local economy.  Donations to TRIP have a multiplier effect, enabling us to leverage over $7.7 million additional dollars into Troy's community through private, federal and state sources. We are very proud of the work we do and the benefits that it brings to Troy.  However, we could not do it without those of you who support us - through the tough times as well as the good times.  You are all extremely valued partners in our success.   Your dedication to the well-being and health of our community is greatly appreciated.
