• Blueprint works with local churches in San Antonio to identify elderly, disabled, and low-income homeowners who are unable physically and/or financially to make necessary repairs on their homes.


• We focus on making homes safer, warmer and dryer, so issues like leaking roofs, and unstable flooring are of higher priority than decorative embellishments.


• For liability purposes, it is mandatory that the home is owned by the occupant.

• If this should happen, the project will either be completed by the next week of campers or by additional volunteers in the San Antonio area. We promise the homeowners a completed job, and it is our priority to make true on that promise.

• Blueprint has Board Members and dedicated volunteers with an extensive knowledge in construction. These people will either be directly on the work sites, or within a few minutes driving distance in order to oversee projects, give advice, and evaluate the quality of work being accomplished.

• Operation Restoration runs week long camps for Jr. High and Sr. High youth groups. These can be church groups, or other youth based organizations who desire to expose their students to service projects in inner-city San Antonio. Groups have previously come from Houston, and San Antonio, TX as well as St. Louis, MO.

• Currently Blueprint receives funds from individuals and foundations. Camper fees cover program and operating costs for the week they attend camp.

• Currently Blueprint only has one full time staff member. For this reason, each church is asked to bring their own male and female adult leaders to oversee the emotional and spiritual well being of their students. In coming years Blueprint hopes to have the funds to hire summer interns whose main focus will be investing in the lives of our campers.
