Our Impact and Outcomes

Our Families Are Never Home Alone

Every family that we work with becomes part of the Dwell With Dignity family. And they have an even wider group of organizations behind them. These families are nominated to us by existing social service organizations working to help them in their struggle to attain self-sufficiency. Organizations that are approved by our board must have accountability-based programs that address housing, education, career, finance, life skills and children’s needs.

While these great organizations equip families with many of the tools to work toward self-sufficiency, they often don’t have the resources to make a living space a home. With our help, a huge financial burden is lifted from our families, allowing them to focus on their job. Their children. And their future.

We empower families to lead—and take the lead in—their best lives, thriving in a safe, functional and beautiful environment. Pride grows. Toxic stress levels are reduced. Academics improve.  Play dates are made. Plans are made for birthday parties, holiday gatherings, and family dinners.  We feel sure that their homes will have a powerful generational impact.
