Housing

“Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do…but how much love we put in that action.”

- Mother Teresa

New Visions EDC seeks to develop and support projects which assist with stabilizing the housing for young adults and families.

Making the transition from youth to young adulthood can be challenging. As young adults migrate from the homes of their parents, or aging out of foster care, many find that “living on your own” is not without challenges

Often, many young adults lack the tools needed to acquire or sustain independent housing. With increasing rental rates, a transitional housing program would be vital to the development of Young Adult skills to establish dominion and build community.
