This quarter we were able to house 3 more individuals with disabilities. With reduced housing stock housing people who are very low income is a challenge. With the average individual on Social Security Disability making between $730 to $1200 a month finding affordable housing that allows them to live and be able to afford food and other necessary items. The housing that we build and maintain for these individuals allows them to pay no more than 30% of their income for housing which in this day and age is near impossible. We also work with getting these individuals "mainstream vouchers" which helps to reduce their rent even further. Along with reduced rents we connect these disabled clients to necessary services such as Food Banks, Transportation, Health Care and Mental Health Services. Your donations do make a difference in helping these individuals live a normal and productive lives. Thank you so much for your help!
