The Housing Center model is based on being intentional and proactive. Housing Center interventions increase housing opportunities for under-represented races in communities that embrace diversity, building a community in which everyone is welcomed and valued.

Our multi-faceted efforts include numerous programs that promote and sustain the community’s integration.
