The Loading Dock, established in 1984, is the nation’s first successful, self-sustaining, nonprofit clearinghouse of reusable and surplus building materials and has been a model for similar facilities across the country. TLD inventory is used primarily in home renovation projects by low to moderate income owner occupants and investors, nonprofit community groups, and for historic and arts projects. TLD’s 7,500 clients improve 10,000 homes each year, saving $2.4 million annually. This grant provided funds for program expansion related to long-term sustainability plans.
