The holidays are about HOME – Your home is so much more than your address. Home is a place to gather, celebrate, and feel safe. Yet, for many in our communities, the barriers to finding housing make that HOME feel out of reach. This Giving Tuesday, support Housing North to help create stronger, more resilient communities in which everyone has a place to call HOME. https://lnkd.in/e_iXsvEF
