As we reflect on the past year, I am filled with immense gratitude for the dedication, generosity, and resilience of our community. Your steadfast support has enabled us to continue our mission of providing safe, stable, and affordable housing for low-income families. Despite the challenges we face, our collective commitment to making housing accessible remains unwavering, and I am thrilled to share some of the remarkable progress we have made together.

Reflecting on a Year of Growth
“The opening of the Greenfield Housing Project wouldn’t have been possible without our volunteers.”
– Simon Says, Board Chair
Our Successes
This year, we successfully completed several major housing projects that have directly impacted families in need.
New Affordable Housing
Thanks to your generosity, we were able to build and renovate more than 50 affordable housing units in our community. These homes are more than just structures; they are places where families can find security, children can thrive, and individuals can regain a sense of dignity and hope. One of our most significant achievements was the completion of the Greenfield Housing Project, a development that now provides 20 families with permanent, affordable homes. This project stands as a testament to what we can accomplish when we come together with a shared vision.
Expanded Services
Beyond construction, we have also expanded our supportive services to ensure that families not only have a place to live but also the resources they need to succeed. This year, our financial literacy workshops, job training programs, and tenant support services have reached over 300 individuals, empowering them with the tools to build a more stable future. One inspiring story comes from Dan, a single father of two who was struggling to make ends meet before finding housing through our program. With access to our financial counseling and employment assistance, he secured a stable job and is now on the path to homeownership—an achievement that once seemed out of reach.
Strong Volunteer Network
The strength of our organization comes from our incredible network of volunteers, donors, and community partners. Over the past year, more than 500 volunteers dedicated their time to helping with construction, mentoring families, and organizing fundraising events. Our corporate and nonprofit partners have also played a crucial role in providing funding, materials, and expertise that have allowed us to expand our reach. The generosity and compassion of our supporters remind us that true change happens when we work together.While we celebrate these achievements, we also recognize that there is still much work to be done.
The affordable housing crisis continues to affect countless families, and the demand for safe and stable housing far exceeds the available supply. As we look ahead, we are committed to deepening our impact by launching new initiatives, expanding our advocacy efforts, and continuing to build and rehabilitate homes for those in need. In the coming year, we plan to break ground on two new housing developments and implement additional support programs to address the evolving needs of our residents. None of this would be possible without you—our dedicated supporters. Together, we can create a future where every family has a place to call home
