While many of our PIM program participants are children and youth, the extensive poverty in the region goes beyond that as evidenced by the applicants to the Rehab Outreach And Recovery (ROAR) Housing Program supporting those families who are living in homes that are in desperate need of repair and have no alternatives.  ROAR completed several home renovations last year, ensuring families were able to stay in their home safely.  Hundreds of other families rely on resources and services offered through our PIM’s Resource and Referral (R&R) Center. 

ROAR is an advocate for safe and healthy living environments for families. We work to ensure that families are not displaced due to hazardous living conditions. ROAR assists low income home owners with urgent repairs, eliminating health, safety, and environmental hazards for residents who are elderly, handicapped, or disabled. Through this ministry, we served several  households in 2019.
