Are you a family facing homelessness in need of services?
We serve families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in the Lancaster area. Families that we partner with benefit from a network of Christian faith volunteers, decreasing rental assistance, and intensive case management as they work to achieve long term stability.
Our program does not offer emergency housing or emergency rental or utility assistance.
