The Bailey Project
Rooted in justice and fueled by community, The Bailey Project is the education and empowerment arm of
Harris Housing Co. The project exists to help people move forward — emotionally, financially, and professionally. We meet individuals and families where they are, offering care-centered education, trauma-informed support, and hands-on guidance to access housing, stability, and ownership.
We believe housing should not only be affordable but transformative. That’s why we connect real estate strategy with real-life recovery — through workshops, 1-on-1 coaching, group support, and neighborhood-based hubs.
We offer:
-
Workshops & Online Trainings on homeownership, credit, co-buying, group homes, transitional housing, and building generational wealth.
-
Community-Based Programs embedded in churches, schools, and local organizations—meeting people where they are.
-
Emotional Support Curriculum for those navigating trauma, recovery, or major life transitions—so they can move forward with clarity and strength.
-
Hands-On Housing Strategies that teach people how to find, fund, and activate homes that build personal and community power.

OUR DIFFERENCE
The Bailey Legacy
Providence is a small city with big housing issues. Issues that affect friends, family and someone you think you know. It is a city where who you are and what you stand for matters.
As educators, Bailey's emphasized the importance of knowledge and lifelong learning, instilling in us a passion for education as a catalyst for breaking barriers.
As business owners, they demonstrated resilience, innovation, and a commitment to excellence. Where serving people was about families more than profits. Their entrepreneurial spirit inspired us to create opportunities for others and foster economic empowerment within our communities.
As community leaders, they exemplified selflessness, compassion, and a profound sense of service. Their tireless efforts to uplift and empower those around them served as a guiding light for how we fight for the needs of people today.
The Bailey Project is where those principles are put in action. Through various initiatives, programs, and partnerships, we aim to continue their legacy of service and create a positive impact that resonates for generations to come.
