Housing Services
Helping neighbors find a place to call home.
COM’s Housing Program helps our neighbors move toward financial stability by providing safe, affordable housing and supportive case management. We work with our neighbors to set goals, develop life skills, and connect with community resources.
Through this program, participants gain the tools and confidence to maintain long-term stability and independence. We believe that everyone deserves a place to call home, and we are dedicated to advocating for those in need. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of our neighbors.
How we can help
*COM DOES NOT PROVIDE RENT OR UTILITY PAYMENTS*
A FAMILY REUNITED
FOR OVER 2 YEARS, THIS COUPLE LIVED IN THEIR CAR WHILE THEIR TWO CHILDREN STAYED WITH THEIR GRANDPARENTS. DESPITE WORKING FULL-TIME, SETBACK AFTER SETBACK KEPT HOUSING OUT OF REACH. WE WERE ABLE TO ADVOCATE FOR THIS FAMILY AND PROVIDE HOUSING REFERENCES. TODAY, THAT FAMILY HAS A HOME OF THEIR OWN. THEY ARE REUNITED WITH THEIR CHILDREN, NO LONGER SEPARATED BY CIRCUMSTANCE, BUT BROUGHT BACK TOGETHER UNDER ONE ROOF. THEY SHARED HOW MUCH IT MEANS FOR THEM TO FINALLY HAVE A PLACE WHERE DIGNITY, PEACE, AND HOPE CAN GROW.
