Operations

The society manages Legacy Place, which comprises a small number of affordable family housing units.

This collective aims to streamline operations, reduce volunteer reliance, and ensure the long-term viability of the member organizations, allowing them to focus on creating more housing opportunities in the region.

Impact

By providing affordable housing, the society contributes to the well-being of low-income families and supports the local community's housing needs, helping maintain the area's friendly small-town atmosphere and quality of life.
