As housing costs significantly rise, our neighbors are finding it increasingly more difficult to maintain safe housing, and much harder to bounce back after experiencing homelessness. Without help, they are at great risk of living in poverty for generations. Today, poverty causes families to live in unsafe neighborhoods and have no or unreliable transportation, exposing children to violence, trauma, interrupted schooling, and feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness. Harvest House is a critical point in their journey.
