Committed to a Hope-Filled Future


How well a person or family can handle present difficulties often depends on how hopeful they feel about the future.

There’s the rub for too many in a housing market like ours where rents and home prices seem to move in only one direction—UP! Hope dwindles to despair for those on the margins as their chances of getting ahead seem to fade away.

ICCF Community Homes strives to assure that all our neighbors can live in homes that promote stability, growth and hope. We do this by providing housing options and services that not only relieve immediate need but also provide a path to long-term housing security.

This mission takes a years-long perspective and a bold commitment to the future. That perspective and commitment is represented by the more than 50 households who are members of ICCF’s Homes & Hope Legacy Society.

To learn more about joining them with a gift commitment to ICCF Community Homes in your will or estate plan, please visit iccf.org/planned-gifts.

“For decades we have deeply appreciated the ministry of ICCF Community Homes. We love ICCF’s core values of respect, opportunity and beauty which have made a transformative difference in people’s lives and in neighborhoods throughout Grand Rapids. We consider it a privilege to be part of this ministry now and through our estate plan.” – Duane and Jeanette Kelderman, Homes & Hope Legacy Society members
