🏡 HELP US BLESS A FAMILY WITH A FRESH START 🏡
This is what community collaboration is all about.
A hardworking single mother, domestic violence survivor, and healthcare worker has overcome homelessness and recently secured stable housing thanks to the combined efforts of multiple community partners of the Homelessness and Housing Alliance, including Shelter House, One Hopeful Place, and many others working together throughout our Continuum of Care.
As an ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) household, she worked hard every step of the way to regain stability. Now we'd like to help turn her new house into a home.
