Help Launch Housing & Community Programs | Village of America

Building Our First Sustainable Community

At Village of America, we're creating a comprehensive program that provides immediate housing assistance while building toward long-term community ownership and sustainability.

A Message From Our Founder

"We believe in addressing both immediate needs and long-term solutions. While we provide emergency housing assistance today, we're also building toward acquiring our first apartment community - creating permanent affordable housing and sustainable support systems for young adults and families."
