Everyone Home Project Updates

Get an inside look at the projects and initiatives that are currently underway. From the planning phase to execution, we'll be providing you with real-time updates on the progress we're making as a community.

Landlord Connections


In partnership with an amazing group of community partners, Everyone Home has launched a Landlord Education Series.


Participating landlords have had an opportunity to join in an open discussion with local housing attorneys and a magistrate, learn more about the Fair Housing Act and engage with local service providers. The final session will provide information on how to build relationships with tenants.

Street Outreach Conversations



Everyone Home, in partnership with a consultant, hosted conversations with street outreach groups to develop an inventory of what help is available in our community for our most vulnerable neighbors.


The findings of the inventory will be shared with the public at a future event. Stay up to date on Everyone Home events by visiting our website and reading our newsletters and updates!
