Organization:
Homestretch
Sacred Homes is a Homestretch partnership program that connects faith communities directly to individual families working to propel themselves out of poverty. This connection is made possible by the faith community “adopting” a Homestretch home and assisting the resident family on their journey to self-sufficiency. A family typically stays in their Homestretch home for two years before moving into a home they can afford themselves. In a Sacred Homes partnership, the faith community helps defray the financial costs of providing the home to a Homestretch client family. They also engage in hands-on acts of support to help maintain the home and, to the extent desired by the family and in close coordination with the assigned Homestretch case manager, the they also provide additional direct assistance for the resident family.
