A huge thank you to the incredible volunteers from The North Face Lancaster for giving back to our community! 🧡

Last week, their team came out to Franklin Terrace to freshen up parking lines and clear the sidewalks - small but mighty improvements that make a big difference for our residents. We are so grateful for their time, energy, and commitment to making Lancaster a better place for everyone.

Last week, Lancaster City Housing Authority toured the Arch Street Center, Inc. and got a first hand look at the amazing community created with their participants. Arch Street Center provides a safe and welcoming space for adults living with serious mental illness. Visits like this remind us of the importance of strong partnerships in supporting the well-being of Lancaster City residents.

A big thank you to Jason and the Arch Street Center team for opening your doors and sharing your incredible work with us. We look forward to growing this partnership.
