We are beyond excited to share that nine refugee claimant families will be moving into the latest home at Romero House, Edna Lane! 🏡✨ This building will soon be filled with warmth, hope, and community as we continue our mission of providing safe housing and support for those fleeing persecution around the world. We’re incredibly grateful for the chance to welcome these families into this special space—offering not just a roof over their heads, but a community where they can truly begin rebuilding their lives. 💙 Check out the full article to learn more about how this project came to life: https://zurl.co/4dC6 Thank you to everyone who has supported this project Stay tuned for more updates as we prepare for this exciting next chapter!
