Our Philosophy
- Everyone deserves a home and a chance at life.
- Stable and affordable housing plays a fundamental role in enabling people to realize their full potential.
- Having a home—a safe, secure, permanent place to live—restores status to devalued people,
and is integral to achieving physical and psychological wellbeing. - We also know that when everyone has a home, everyone benefits!
