Mission
Anawim Housing develops stable homes and strengthens people and communities.
Key Services Provided
Housing ends homelessness. At Anawim, we move people directly from shelters and homeless camps into permanent housing. Once that critical need is met – mental health, addiction, medical care, and income can be addressed. Our Housing First model recognizes people need stable housing before pursuing a healthy, happy life.
Key Audiences Served
Since 1987, Anawim Housing has been a local leader in affordable housing – working tirelessly to end homelessness and ensure the most vulnerable in our community have a safe place to call home. We serve people experiencing homelessness, as well as those seeking affordable housing.
