Project Manager

About Us We are a mission-driven housing initiative dedicated to ending family homelessness through an innovative Micro Equity Home Ownership model. We raise capital through community share offers to purchase homes for homeless families with children—enabling residents to build ownership gradually by purchasing shares in their home over time, providing security, stability for the families and children to recover from their difficulties and rebuild their lives in a safe environment.

The initiative will work in partnership with local support communities and faith communities to build supportive networks that help families recover from the challenges they have faced. This initiative also offers meaningful opportunities for the support communities to outreach and to share knowledge through practical support for families in need.
