MICAH works with congregations, faith leaders, and community partners to increase awareness and understanding the need for affordable housing. This creates advocates who fight for changes in public policies to encourage all communities to preserve and build affordable housing.
Elderly and children are both increasing in homelessness and housing instability. Nationwide and locally, more and more people are calling for real systemic action on housing.

There’s an old folk song that has this refrain – “Step by step the longest march can be won. Many stones to build an arch – singly, none.” We are coming together to take the steps and lift those stones!
