In an upcoming segment, Viewpoint with Dennis Quaid highlights innovative solutions to rising housing costs, showcasing efforts to make affordable homeownership a reality.
MIAMI, Dec. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Millions of Americans dream of owning a home, a place to call their own. But for many, that dream seems increasingly out of reach. Rising housing costs can leave families feeling trapped in a cycle of rent increases and unstable living situations. Viewpoint with Dennis Quaid tackles this critical issue in an upcoming segment, shining a spotlight on Community Housing Works (CHW), a non-profit organization dedicated to creating affordable housing solutions.
The segment delves into the challenges faced by low-income families and individuals struggling to find safe, secure housing. Viewpoint explores the innovative solutions implemented by CHW, showcasing their commitment to building and preserving affordable housing options across the country. Whether it's revitalizing neglected properties or fostering mixed-income communities, CHW works tirelessly to create opportunities for those in need.
Sean Spear, President & CEO of Community HousingWorks, explains their unique approach: "At Community HousingWorks, we believe opportunity begins with a stable home. It is exceedingly difficult to manage a job, take care of a family, or even access food and other essentials if you do not have a safe, reliable place to call home. However, that's just the starting point for us. In addition to providing working families and older adults with stable homes in healthy communities, we layer in powerful programs, services and connections to resources. These tools help people attain financial stability and opportunity, improve their health and overall well-being, and set school-age children up for success in the classroom and beyond. Our informal motto is 'We Build Futures'. To us that's doing more than just putting roof over people's heads. We endeavor to create true communities and give people the means to truly better their lives for themselves and generations to come."
Beyond bricks and mortar, CHW provides a vital support system for residents. The segment explores how they empower families by offering financial literacy workshops, job training opportunities, and access to essential resources. Viewpoint viewers will witness the transformative impact of affordable housing, not just on individuals, but on entire communities.
