No Place Like HOM

While these are valid and good reasons to work at HOM, there are three themes that capture the [...]

With rents and vacancies at historic levels, it is much more difficult for people to secure safe and affordable housing in our communities. That includes the individuals and families in our housing programs. We have worked hard over 28 years to develop an extensive network of property owners and managers to participate in our [...]
