Volunteer your time to help build affordable housing
Overcrowding and a lack of uncongested affordable housing perpetuates poverty for many living below the NPPS.
Being able to access healthy, affordable housing allows individuals and families to pursue opportunities in other aspects of their lives. Organizations that build or repair affordable housing often benefit from having dedicated volunteers to help with projects.
To get started:
Find organizations in your area that build affordable housing and seek volunteers to help.
Volunteer your time and, if you have specific skills or experience, inquire as to the need for those skills with the projects.
