In Our Backyard will build 6 interim homes on Central Lutheran’s property. We will invite guests to move in during October of 2024. A case manager will assess their needs and help them receive the services needed to move into permanent housing. The process of finding permanent housing can take from 6 months to 9 months.
This ecumenical project is supported not only by Central Lutheran, but also by First Covenant, Shiloh Baptist, Greater Faith Church, Church of Latter-Day Saints, St. John UMC, and First UMC The Annual Conference of the Alaska United Methodist Church voted to write a letter of support. The list of faith communities is growing.
How can you help? Support us through your prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness.
Your leadership team has taken the first step and written a letter of support. Some other steps to consider:
In the future we will need help building the interim homes and supporting the monthly needs of this new community.
