Our Housing Initiative encompasses transitional housing, rental assistance, and homebuyer programs to assist eligible individuals in securing stable housing. Support is provided to young adults ages 18-22 experiencing housing insecurity, citizens reentering society after incarceration, and ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) Households.
We are committed to supporting young adults as they transition into independent living. Our housing program provides safe, stable, and affordable accommodations tailored to the unique needs of emerging adults ages 18- 22. Recognizing the heightened risk of homelessness, unemployment, and lack of support faced by these individuals, we offer more than just shelter—we provide a foundation for growth.
Through structured life skills training, mentorship, and access to community resources, residents are empowered to pursue education, employment, and personal development. Our holistic approach nurtures the mind, body, and spirit, helping each young adult build confidence, resilience, and a vision for their future.
Our Housing Assistance program will assist individuals and families classified as A.L.I.C.E. (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed), who earn above the Federal Poverty Level but struggle to afford basic household needs. This program will provide stable housing opportunities at a subsidized rate, helping to reduce financial pressure and promote long-term economic resilience.
Our Re-entry Housing Program is designed to support individuals transitioning from confinement back into the community. We provide safe, structured, and spiritually grounded housing that fosters stability, accountability, and personal growth. Recognizing the barriers faced by returning citizens—such as homelessness, unemployment, and social stigma—we offer more than a place to stay; we offer a path forward.
Residents receive access to life skills training, employment support, mentorship, and holistic wellness services that address the mind, body, and spirit. Through compassionate guidance and community partnerships, we help participants rebuild their lives with dignity and purpose.
Landlords: Want to partner with purpose? You can contribute a vacant unit or offer a rental discount. Join our network of compassionate property owners. Together, we’re housing hope.
