Housing Security

Supporting the Community

It has been said that parenting is far more complex than rocket science. Parenting without a home, or in a home with multiple families, is really, really challenging. Stress on the family is stress on the child, which can impact a child’s development and future. Our community needs a viable and sustainable solution for family housing.
