To accomplish this, HFH builds and renovates houses, providing decent homes in decent communities where people can live and grow into all that God intended. Our affiliate has built 39 homes and has 11 more currently under construction on Kenwood Street in Glendale. When these homes are complete, our affiliate will attain the important 50-home productivity benchmark and will be providing 205 men, women and children with safe, decent, affordable shelter.
