Mission Statement
Bring people together to provide and preserve affordable housing opportunities and create a community where all feel they belong.
Description
Our Vision:
A Coulee Region with ample, quality housing options and healthy, sustainable communities for all.
We believe that decent, affordable housing should be a matter of conscience and action; we realize that there are people in our community who are living in inadequate conditions and that joining together we can provide a hand up - not a handout.For many people, it is an eye-opening experience to see what homes and conditions are like for many of the working poor. We believe that many stereotypes will be dispelled as people of different economic, ethnic, or religious backgrounds work together. We all share a common humanity, with similar frailties, strengths, and aspirations.
Our Values:
- Committed to reuse and environmental sustainability
- Rooted in faith in community
- Driven to innovate
- Called to advocate
