Home. The vast majority of us take having a roof
over our heads for granted. But for hundreds of people in our four-county
area, basic housing doesn't exist.
 |
They're homeless. |
 |
Or they live in abandoned buildings or trailers without even the most
basic of services such as water, sanitation, heat, or electricity. |
 |
Or they take shelter with relatives in living quarters that are
overcrowded and substandard. |
The causes are complex: unemployment, lack of education, poverty, and
others. Read our Did You Know? page for more information on the scope of
the problem in our area. It's real. And it's growing.
We have formed this consortium to make a difference, one person at a time.
We invite you to click on Who We Are to learn what

You Can Help if you wish to get involved. We need your help.
