  • While our roots are in the Catholic Diocese we serve people of all faiths and ethnicities.
  • Many people want to live in neighborhoods, even if they can no longer remain in their own homes, so we provide alternative housing that creates a neighborhood environment.
  • In seeking community partnerships to provide services and programs for our residents and to develop new properties.
  • In working tirelessly to advocate on behalf of low- and moderate-income people to ensure that they have a decent, safe place to live.
