Renovation Alliance

As originally broadcast October 28, 2026, on Blue Ridge PBS …

Food, clothing and shelter may be our three basic needs, but in the modern world, shelter is the trickiest to provide. Even if you have a house, it can be expensive to maintain, especially if you’re disabled or, like seniors and veterans, living on a fixed income.

Thankfully in Roanoke, Virginia, homeowners have help and hope for costly repairs and renovations, and on today’s episode of BUZZ, we feature a nonprofit that has created what’s needed in this critical renovation work … an alliance. New to this alliance – and our show! – is Hello Roanoke’s Genya Kalinina, who provides the nonprofit with some much needed social media marketing buzz!

We thank Dayna Patrick of Patrick Team Homes for underwriting, and Roanoke Valley Television for co-producing, this episode.
