Permanent Housing
Our Permanent Housing Properties include housing for homeless, low-income and special needs individuals, and families. We are committed to breaking the cycle of homelessness and poverty by providing subsidized housing coupled with supportive services on site. Our housing programs instill hope and an opportunity to consider other possibilities for a person’s life. New residents are welcomed by their neighbors, and are invited to take part in the many community activities.

Transitional Housing
Transitional Housing gives residents an opportunity to save money for permanent housing and get back on their feet. Many of our transitional housing properties offer a variety of essential supportive services, such as housing counseling, employment assistance, computer access and drug and alcohol recovery support.

Senior Housing
Aging in place can be a daunting task for people who don’t have a safety net of family or other supports. Our Senior Housing projects provides rental subsidies from HUD, onsite social services and partnerships with other providers to ensure residents have what they need to live in dignity and age in place in their homes.
