Finding affordable rental housing is not easy

Housing is an essential basic need that many of our neighbors are struggling to obtain or sustain. We are thankful for agencies partners like Family Promise of Bradley County that help to meet this need. We are honored to be part of the local United Way of the Ocoee Region Housing Coalition of which our Executive Director serves as chair of the Housing First Sub-Committee. This is one way that we are working to find sustainable solutions. Check out our website or our agency partners, Family Promise and Wesley Cleveland Cold Weather Shelter to learn ways you can stand in the gap and join with us to move toward a thriving community.
