Sample Blog Post
Friday SpotlightMeet 9-year-old Luke. He has been
involved with Housing Families for 4 years. When we first met him he was shy and afraid to grow attached to those he met, because he had become accustomed to packing up and moving on. Every morning when he woke up, he did not know if he was going to be coming back to the place where he woke up.
“Housing Families has given me a place to call home. I can now make friends and know that tomorrow I will be going back to the same school.”
- Luke
