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

My first and foremost commitment and mission is being an advocate for older adults.  Housing is a critical need beyond just a roof and shelter. Housing creates an opportunity for community.  Community promotes engagement, relationship, and meets the emotional needs that support the entire person.  H.O.M.E.  brings both of those things together, serving older adults as they navigate the challenges of shelter and support through providing solutions that encourage the independence and autonomy that they not only need, but deserve.
