OUR MISSION
Making Housing & Community Happen equips congregations, community leaders, and neighbors with practical tools needed to transform their communities to end homelessness, and to stabilize the cost of housing through education, advocacy, organizing, and advisement.
We decided to call 2024, the sixth anniversary of becoming a nonprofit, a “Year of Jubilation,” in gratitude to you, our supporters, 50+ volunteers, community partners and staff. Our goal is to raise $25,000 by Sept. 1 to pay our staff and achieve our goals.
​
We are also calling this a “Year of Jubilation” because we love the concept of the biblical "Jubilee," referring to rhythms of land redistribution to restore homes and land to its original owners to end poverty. We imagine a jubilant future where everyone has a decent, safe and affordable home.
In gratitude, Bert Newton, Jill Shook and Anthony Manousos
One of the highpoints of 2023 was our affordable housing bus tour that took place in July 2023. Over 50 mayors, elected officials and community and religious leaders throughout the San Gabriel Valley took part and saw for themselves the benefits of affordable housing. This five-minute video created by Emmy-award-winning documentary film maker Stephen Scheidler demonstrates how this bus tour influenced key decision makers by showing how affordable housing transforms lives and communities.
