Women for the Women in the Need (WIN)
Housing Assistance Corporation is excited to announce that we will be re-launching our WIN volunteer program. This is a volunteer group comprised of women, who aim to help women in the community needing assistance. This is apart of our Home Repair Program which addresses health and safety hazards in the homes of people who have limited income and resources. Using volunteer and contract labor, we are able to help many people remain living independently in their homes and communities. If you are interested in participating in the WIN volunteer program, contact our volunteer coordinator!
