Second Chance Housing

Each year, thousands of individuals with challenging backgrounds struggle to find stable housing, leading to cycles of homelessness and instability that impact communities.

The Second Chance Housing Initiative breaks this cycle by connecting individuals with safe, affordable housing and support services. By partnering with landlords, we provide opportunities for renters to rebuild their rental history while benefiting property owners and strengthening communities.

Our program helps those with eviction histories, poor credit, or criminal backgrounds secure housing, offering solutions that promote stability, accountability, and a fresh start.
