Creating 200 Homes in Partnership with Local Churches
Building With Faith Leadership
Our campaign is not just about constructing buildings, it’s about building futures. Each home we create and each rental unit we invest in will provide a foundation for stability, growth, and hope. By offering affordable homeownership opportunities and safe rental options, we aim to empower families, foster community, and contribute to the overall well-being of our city.
We invite you to join us in this vital work. Your support, whether through prayer, volunteer efforts, or financial contributions, will make a profound difference in the lives of many. Together, we can ensure that every family in Grand Rapids has the chance to thrive in a home that is safe, affordable, and filled with promise.
Thank you for your partnership and your commitment to building a brighter future for our community.
