Celebrating Black History Month, staff of Building Futures gathered to take time and appreciate those who came before us and paved the way. We celebrated and reflected on the strength and the beauty of our communities.
Over lunch, we enjoyed connecting, laughing and delicious homemade food. A highlight was our annual tradition of trivia game on black history!
Grateful for our staff. Honored to do this work alongside one another. Everyday.

✨ Ending homelessness one key at a time! 🏡
🏠 We assisted more than 1,600 households with support services and/or rent assistance to get and keep people housed, just last year! More now than ever, this work has to be done—and we need the support of our community to make it happen. 💜
🤝 We believe no one should have to spend the night in a car, park, or by a freeway overpass. We're here for those experiencing #homelessness, believing wholeheartedly in #HousingFirst to #EndHomelessness. 🌟
Learn more about how we make a real difference in the lives of our neighbors every day: bfwc.org/ar24/
