Introducing our new program: Keys to Stability 🔑

This brand new 6-week program will be focused on various housing and tenancy matters, such as understanding our rights and responsibilities as tenants, how we can best take care of our spaces, developing budgets, protecting ourselves in our tenancies, learning how to use digital tools, and more.

Space is limited, so if you are interested in joining or have more questions, please reach out to our Housing Resource Coordinator by phone at 709-290-1487 or by email at [email protected].
