Closing the gap in housing needs by providing safe, affordable, and long-term homes for senior women, single mothers, and the workforce.
Women disproportionately face conditions that affect their ability to find safe, appropriate, and affordable housing. Economic barriers, domestic violence, and the rising cost of living have created a crisis.
With the impact of COVID-19 increasing the risk of homelessness for many women, this project is essential. It provides a pivotal opportunity to safely house women and their children in a community designed specifically for them.
