This winter, as many of us gather in warm homes with our families, nearly half of our La Porte County neighbors face a vastly different reality. They’re making impossible choices between paying heating bills or buying groceries, between rent or medicine, between basic necessities, or having a stable place to call home.
Think about what it means for a child to wake up in a home where the constant worry of eviction doesn’t consume their parents, where a kitchen table isn’t just for meals but for homework, family game nights, and holiday celebrations. Where stability creates the foundation for dreams to grow, this isn’t just a vision—it’s the future we’re actively working to build in La Porte County.
The statistics tell a sobering story: almost 50% of our neighbors spend over 30% of their income solely on housing. This burden ripples through every aspect of family life, limiting opportunities for education, healthcare, and economic mobility. But numbers only tell part of the story. Behind each percentage point are real families—your neighbors, your children’s classmates, the people you see every day at the grocery store or local coffee shop.
As an organization, this is why we are working so diligently on Karwick Village to break ground in 2025. This development isn’t just about building affordable housing units; it’s about creating a community where families and individuals can thrive, not just survive, where parents can save for their children’s future instead of constantly worrying about next month’s rent, where stability opens doors to new possibilities.
But we can’t do this alone; financial support is needed. Your gift today does more than help build homes—it builds futures. When you donate, you’re not just giving money; you’re giving:
– A child the security of knowing they won’t have to change schools mid-year due to eviction
– Parents do not have to choose between a child’s medication and rent
– Providing stability to those living on a limited or fixed income
– Community the strength that comes from housing stability
As we are deep into the holiday season, we’re asking you to help make these dreams a reality. Every donation, regardless of size, brings us closer to our goal of ensuring every La Porte County resident has access to safe, stable, and affordable housing.
The gift of home is one that keeps giving, creating positive change that echoes through generations. Will you join us in making this vision a reality?
