Housing Solutions & Development
Cornerstone has been helping men, women, and families find
stability in their lives by meeting their housing needs since 1994. Eliminating
housing barriers allows all people the opportunity to move forward and become
more stable and productive members of our community. Our housing efforts focus
on the individual who may be facing challenges with housing solutions. Our
goal is to move individuals from insecurity in housing to a variety of
permanent solutions including home ownership. Our goal is not to transition
those in need into a living space, but to work with them toward their long term
goals for life and housing desires. Over 25 properties have been made available
since 2014 for affordable ownership. Many of them are now owned by individuals
and families who once saw homeownership as an unreachable dream.
Our current housing division includes three distinct avenues to
sustained living. For men, the New Life Center in the up-and-coming Fairmount
Historic District offers housing for men who have faced homelessness. Women who
are being released from incarceration can become part of the Promise House, a
place that provides safe shelter while working toward building a new life based upon Christian principles. We work
to provide affordable homes to individuals and families who are ready
and willing to achieve this goal.
