Description

Each year Sheen Housing hosts an annual Gala Fundraiser to support our Emergency Home Repair Program, a program which provides actual repairs to low-income homeowners in desperate need.  Items donated are used in our Live or Silent Auctions.

Housing plays a critical role in providing stability for lower income families. Substandard housing leaves little money left over, forcing families to make difficult decisions and budget trade-offs with negative consequences regarding food, clothing, transportation, utilities, healthcare and medicine.

Our annual Gala raises funds that allows Sheen Housing to continued providing home rehabilitation and modifications for families, seniors, veterans and persons living with disabilities through the Emergency Home Repair Program.
