Welcome to Revive and Restore

Our great team of volunteers during the training to learn how to assess properties. We have 12 volunteers, divided into teams of two. Each team was assigned an area of our total target area. We are so grateful for our volunteers who have been working hard and have surveyed 4,868 parcels in just a month.

Using the Regrid app (seen in this photo) our target area is divided into 7 areas. Each team works one of the areas, with Heather and Valerie covering one area. The purple shaded area denotes a parcel that has been surveyed. We are well underway and anticipate completion mid December 2025.

This data will be invaluable in determining our strengths and weaknesses, formulating plans, and advocating for our highest priority needs.

On this Giving Tuesday, we are looking for partners that will help Revive and Restore accomplish its mission and bring change and hope to West Jackson.

  Using Data for Local Action in Partnership with the Center for Community Progress

R&R is collaborating with the Center for Community Progress to conduct a comprehensive windshield survey of approximately 9,500 parcels within our target area. Local volunteers are systematically driving each street, photographing every parcel, and recording assessments regarding its condition. Upon completion of the survey, each parcel will be assigned a grade and accurately documented as a church, residence, commercial property, vacant lot, or other classification. The resulting data will guide R&R in its efforts to educate the community and advocate for initiatives that foster positive change in West Jackson.
