Housing

Stable housing provides a foundation for individuals, children, and families to lead healthy and productive lives.

Without housing, people are unable to focus on education, employment, health care, and other basic needs.

Priorities

The Foundation supports capital, program, and operating grants primarily in its priority communities in the following areas:

The Foundation supports projects that create housing or renovate existing units to provide and maintain affordable and quality options that offer services to help people remain stably housed. Projects should be integrated into the broader community and must incorporate supportive services. We prioritize efforts that add units of housing in a community.

Examples of appropriate projects:

  • Permanent supportive housing serving people exiting homelessness. Project details must include the types of services offered, as well as a focus on financial management, job training, and career development.
  • Affordable housing that meets the needs of individuals including veterans, young adults with developmental disabilities, and people escaping domestic violence.

The Foundation supports programs that allow people to secure and maintain housing within their communities by providing comprehensive services that meet a range of social, economic, and health needs.

Examples of appropriate projects:

  • Rapid re-housing programs for families, youth, veterans, and others who have experienced homelessness, including case management, limited financial assistance, and job services and career development.
  • Independent living, including supportive services that allow young adults with disabilities to live in the least restrictive environment possible, within their community.

It brings tears in your eyes because you see how they’re helping people, those that cannot help themselves. And I’m one of them.
