Since 2006, we have received donations from more than 500 individuals. With these unrestricted funds, we have been able to help low-income tenants in our apartment buildings; help families avert foreclosure; help persons needing counseling for grief, trauma or depression but who don’t fit current funding guidelines. We were also able to preserve Family Literacy programs when federal funds were severely cut.

We are currently seeking funds to expand our mental health services, our foreclosure prevention program, and our family literacy programs.
