Our vision for the Hunt Family Housing project is to strengthen community and family stability by increasing the inventory of transitional housing units available for low-income and vulnerable families. Achieving safe, stable housing allows families to concentrate on other stabilizing factors such as employment, health, savings, and raising thriving families.
Change a Child’s Future!
A shortage of housing for homeless families is one of the most tragic issues facing our community. Parents and children cannot thrive when they do not know where they will sleep at night.
Once the school is converted to apartments, they will serve families experiencing homelessness, couch surfing, living in their cars, in a shelter, or on the street.

The Impact of Homelessness on Children Video
We gathered a panel of experts to discuss the impact of homelessness on children. There was consensus that the experience of being homeless left long-lasting scars on children. The good news is that once a family gets stable housing, those scars can somewhat be reversed by the stability they experience once housed.
