Creating sustainable communities where families thrive
CPR Live and Play is dedicated to providing safe, affordable housing for families who have lost their homes to disasters. We build vibrant courtyard neighborhoods with playgrounds, green spaces, and gardens—where everyone has a place to live and play.
At Live and Play, we believe that a stable and secure home is the foundation upon which dreams are built. We're breaking the cycle of inequity and poverty by providing affordable, high-quality homes in safe, nurturing environments.
We build new homes priced under $130,000, making homeownership accessible to families recovering from disasters. Unlike other programs, our homes are purchased, not given—creating lasting ownership and dignity.
Every Live and Play neighborhood features playgrounds, green spaces, and community gardens. These shared spaces foster connection, reduce isolation, and create joy for residents of all ages.
We assist with down payments, securing federal loans, repair funding, and maintaining all common areas. Our approach promotes health, well-being, and community engagement for lasting impact.
Live and Play neighborhoods are thoughtfully designed to create thriving, sustainable communities
Small homes arranged around shared green space, fostering natural community interaction and safe play areas for children
Safe, well-maintained playgrounds where children can play, socialize, and develop physically and emotionally
Shared garden spaces for growing fresh produce, building community bonds, and providing secondary food sources
Beautiful natural areas for relaxation, exercise, and gathering—improving air quality and mental well-being
New construction built to latest safety standards with lead-safe paint, mold-resistant materials, and energy efficiency
Long-term maintenance of common areas, assistance programs, and community development initiatives
Live and Play homes are reserved for families who need them most
25% of homes reserved for veterans, disabled individuals, and elderly residents who have lost housing
50% of homes for working poor families with children under 16 or disabled adult children
Families who have lost homes due to floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, and other natural disasters
Families priced out of markets like Myrtle Beach, SC where average home prices exceed $300,000
When you support Live and Play, you're not just building houses—you're building hope, community, and lasting change.
Every Live and Play neighborhood creates ripple effects that strengthen entire communities for generations to come.
"I was homeless as a child and lost my home due to flooding as an adult. My home was severely damaged by hurricanes and floods three times. Hurricane Florence destroyed my home, and I lost everything."
"I know firsthand the devastation of losing your home, especially in tourist areas with high prices and intense competition. That's why I founded Live and Play—to ensure that families facing these challenges have a path to safe, affordable homeownership."
"I'm passionate about creating communities where everyone has a place to live and play. With your help, we can turn this vision into reality for families across the East Coast and beyond."
We need to raise $1.5 million to build our first Live and Play neighborhood—complete with affordable homes, playgrounds, green spaces, and gardens. Your donation makes homeownership possible for families who need it most.
