What resonates with you most about H.O.M.E.’s mission?  

What resonates must about H.O.M.E.’s mission is its diversity of services: it is unique in its package of affordable and multi-generational housing; the shopping bus; and its home repair service.  An organization providing any of these services is worthy of support, let alone H.O.M.E. which provides them all.
