Our Long Range Plans have identified six neighborhoods across the Midlands for revitalization (see maps below)

"More Than a Home" Campaign

Our goal is to build 30 new homes and repair 30 existing homes over the next three years. To reach this goal, we have launched a $9 million-dollar campaign which funds the operating, capital and endowment needs. The campaign has heroic goals and affects everyone in our communities through the stability that homeownership and neighborhood revitalization builds.


The plans have been well received by the community and Midlands leaders.  The video and Case for Support below show highlights from our Awareness Event about the campaign.
