Our Staff

While most mentally ill people do not require constant hospitalization, many cannot manage to live entirely on their own. Because the lack of permanent and affordable housing is a main obstacle for these individuals, the staff members at Homes for Life Foundation dedicate themselves to providing solutions to the problem.
