Welcome
They are firefighters and schoolteachers, farmers and carpenters, plumbers and bank tellers and artists. They are our neighbors and friends, our grandparents and grandchildren. They are us. And they can’t afford to live here, where they work every day, where they grew up.A healthy community is home to people of wide–ranging talents, backgrounds and ages. The rich and diverse fabric of our communities is in grave danger of unraveling: the lack of reasonably–priced housing is the reason. Let’s keep our communities healthy. Let’s work together to create housing options for all of us.
