Home is where our hearts are
We’re dedicated to making sure our communities are supported in obtaining and maintaining safe, affordable and accessible housing. Here are some of our successes over the past year:
80 affordable housing units in our Margaret Wagner Apartments providing older adults secure and supportive housing
187 individuals attended our homeownership workshops
99 individuals turned to us for housing counseling and coaching
Helping clients makes us—and them—happy.
“[Margaret Wagner residents] are there for each other through thick and thin, ups and downs. It’s a good group of people. Everyone is nice and communicative, and we support and help each other when needed. And that includes management who care about the well-being of the residents.” Mark Kessler, Margaret Wagner Apartments
“They simplified the home-buying process through their homebuyer education course. I am a smart person—but the process and language of real estate was intimidating and unfamiliar. Their sessions equipped me with valuable information and tools that I drew upon when making my first home purchase… This should be required education for anyone in pursuit of homeownership.” Sarah Seibert, Homebuyer Education
