HOUSING SOLUTIONS
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Stagnant wages, and rising cost of living are the primary reasons people find themselves priced out of their homes. The key to keeping people in their homes is affordability. Experts agree that a household shouldn’t pay more than 1/3 of their income on rent. Affordable Housing helps give people breathing room to make ends meet, increasing their quality of life.
SUPPORTIVE HOUSING
Supportive Housing is what all experts say is the key factor in success for the chronically homeless. Some of the wrap around services offered are job training, counseling, and community support.
