The Mission
In collaboration with the United Way and Hesed House of Hope, the “Rea Community” project aims to raise $3.23 million. Our mission is to establish a long-term affordable housing community in Lincoln County, providing much-needed support to individuals and families facing housing insecurity for generations to come.
Facing the Need
Many public servants, such as teachers, police officers, firefighters, veterans, and other essential workers in our community, face financial challenges as they earn less than the average annual income of $49,332. These dedicated individuals often find themselves struggling to secure cost-effective housing, despite their crucial roles in our society.
Building Hope
Once we reach our goal, we will begin the construction of a safe, affordable and high-quality community in Lincoln County which will feature 13 mini-homes designed to accommodate individuals and families in need of stable housing. Each home will ensure a supportive environment where residents can thrive and build a brighter future.
