STABILITY
A home is more than a house. It is the foundation for school continuity, relationships, and belonging.
Neighborhood
in Need
Since 2007, we have partnered with Thomas Miller Elementary to support local families. Today, the school serves more than 410 K-4 students, 95% of whom qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
Lafayette is facing an invisible crisis: transient housing.
This enormous turnover disrupts the school community and severs connections when children are forced to move.

Breaking the Cycle of Generational Poverty
Housing is one piece of a much larger affordability challenge. To help under-resourced individuals thrive, we established CCDC's housing initiative to provide low-rent homes outside traditional low-income housing structures.
By providing affordable housing, we give families the stability they need to keep their children connected to their school and community.
