TY to the wonderful students of the Oakland Mills High School POMs who held a Welcome Home Basket drive for our clients this month. With the help of the community, they were able to put together 25 baskets full of supplies to help their neighbors in need settle into a new home!

We all know rents have been rising, but do you know how much it costs just to get in the door?

Security deposits are sometimes just as high as the rent, meaning clients have to pay nearly 2 months of rent before they can move in.

Too many of our residents experience housing instability and homelessness. By offering emergency shelter, rapid rehousing, and supportive services, we are striving to ensure that our neighbors feel seen heard and loved, especially during these cold months.
