In 2023, we launched a new program to expand the stabilizing services we offer to the community. Housing is a human right, and the loss of a home can lead to cycles of poverty that are exceedingly difficult to recover from.

Our team of caring navigators and lawyers are passionately committed to keeping our clients in their homes.
