The 2018 Fundraiser House
Want to help and make a major difference in your community?
As many of you know safe and affordable housing is a major issue for our area, so this year H.A.C. is building a 'Fundraiser House' to help combat that issue. The House will be built using donated funds, material, and labor from individuals, organizations, and businesses within our community. The House will then be sold on the open market and the proceeds from that sale will go to Housing Assistance's multiple programs- which will serve around 120 people in our area. We are looking for volunteers to help with the build as well as monetary and material sponsors.
thank you to the following organizations and businesses to committing to the 2018 Fundraiser House. Your commitment will make a major difference in our community, so thank you!

Women for the Women in the Need (WIN)
Housing Assistance Corporation is excited to announce that we will be re-launching our WIN volunteer program. This is a volunteer group comprised of women, who aim to help women in the community needing assistance. This is apart of our Home Repair Program which addresses health and safety hazards in the homes of people who have limited income and resources. Using volunteer and contract labor, we are able to help many people remain living independently in their homes and communities. If you are interested in participating in the WIN volunteer program, contact our volunteer coordinator!
