Stable Steady Strong
Through the Stable Steady Strong initiative, community members are helping PCHTF meet some of the community's most pressing housing needs.
Here, you can find out how to contribute, see our impact, meet our funded partners, and other investors in the effort.
When you invest in the Polk County Housing Trust Fund's STABLE STEADY STRONG initiative, you are:
-
Investing in the stability of families by providing opportunities for them to secure and maintain safe and affordable housing.
-
Investing in a steady workforce that can focus on their jobs and responsiblities rather than the challenges of securing and maintaining safe and affordable housing.
-
Investing in strong and economically viable neighborhoods and communities as individuals and families take root in safe and affordable housing.
The supportive services funded by your investment help families secure and maintain safe and affordable housing, and that makes a difference in the quality of life for everyone in our community - residents, neighborhoods and businesses. Simply stated, it's an investment in a stronger community for all.
Who can attain self-sufficiency if they don't have a safe and stable place to call home? Supporting children, adults, and families seeking affordable and stable housing is a priority for our charitable giving. Every person deserves the security of a place to build their future.
- Jane Fogg, community philanthropist
