Addition Financial Credit Union is an amazing partner. This week they delivered toilet paper to HOPE. With major cuts in funding, we appreciate these drives so that we reduce our costs. Cleaning items, hygiene items and more are always welcome. Thank you Addition Financial for your leadership.

Home prices across our region keep climbing. 🏠

A new list from Stacker, shared by WFTV, ranks the cities with the fastest-growing home prices in the Tallahassee metro, based on Zillow data. Monticello tops the list, with typical home values up more than $13,000 in the past year. In Tallahassee, the typical home is now worth about $294,000.

There are still affordable options close to home. In Gretna, the typical home value is under $100,000, about $93,000. But even there, prices rose nearly 7% last year, the fastest percentage growth in the metro.

That's why affordable housing can't wait. Every month prices rise, more working families in the Big Bend get priced out. At Family Promise of the Big Bend, we help families and veterans find stable housing right here in our community, and we can't do it without you.

🧦 When Girl Scout Troop 11221 toured HOPE Community to learn about homelessness in our community, they didn't just take notes — they brought what they learned to life through a sock puppet story, so others could understand it too.

Their message is simple and powerful: homelessness can touch anyone, and awareness and compassion start with listening to those who've experienced it.

Thank you, Troop 11221, for using your voices to raise awareness and remind us all that empathy is something every generation can practice. 💚

The event focused on providing transitioning families with essential resources and support to reduce stressors and promote long-term stability.

A special thank you to our keynote speaker, Markeisa Tassy of Markeisa Tassy Enterprise, whose own journey from survivor to author and advocate embodies exactly what "Hope & Healing" means to our families.

We're also so grateful to the community partners who showed up to connect families directly with resources: Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare - TMH for bringing behavioral health and wellness resources to the table, and the Family Resource Centers of Leon County / , for helping families navigate support close to home. as well as these fabulous partners: Families First, Boys & Girls Clubs of the Big Bend, Big Bend Cares, Cross Creek Family Resource Center, Early Learning Coalition and the Leon Count Library team

To all of our amazing community partners and families who helped make this event a success, thank you! We can't wait to build on this for our next Lunch & Learn.
