Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

To bring an end to substandard housing conditions in which families live.

We partner with businesses, faith communities, foundations, and individuals in our community to raise funds to build homes in partnership with families in need.

We work with over 3,000 volunteers a year to build homes and repair homes in our community along with paid, knowledgeable staff.

In 2018 we completed construction on our 200th home. Over the 33 years of our organization we have provided a means to homeownership to over 250 families completing as of 2019 207 new or rehabbed homes and over 150 home repairs in our community.
