Thank You to our Housing Champions!
We need the financial support of our local business community in order to produce more units of affordable housing for essential workers. Most housing developments that we undertake cost us $150,000 to $300,000 before we can get a shovel in the ground.
If your local business would like to be a Housing Champion, email LRCD Executive Director, Carmen Lorentz at [email protected].
We are incredibly grateful for these businesses that support our mission!
