advocate for the family works with the family on individual needs, to include establishing
a budget, preparing for closing and anticipating what will be needed as a new homeowner.

Fund Raising Committee:
This committee is responsible for raising the necessary funds for building the
houses and operation. Each house costs approximately $35,000 to
build. They try to find new and exciting and well as some old and not-so
exciting ways to raise this money. This committee needs people who are
willing to participate in fund raising activities as well as innovative people
who have ideas. Some fund-raising activities have included selling cookbooks, t-shirts and
pins, a
holiday "in honor" gift program, the annual Easter Walk,
and Casino Night. Click on Fund Raising Projects for more
