Community Engagement Programs are fundamental to the mission of Harborlight Homes.
Harborlight supports fair housing policies and will actively resist any formal or informal housing discrimination. Within this context, in our quest to create economically accessible, community-rooted housing, Harborlight actively works toward influencing long-term change for sustainable housing at the micro level, such as specific households, and at the macro level, related to systems causing or exacerbating housing hardship and the associated decrease of opportunity for people of modest and limited means.
