Community Hand Up – CDM 2024 Non-Profit Silent Auction Tree Participant

Community Hand Up was created to empower the future financial security of people whose income is above the poverty line and below middle-class financial security by providing financial education, mentoring, and emergency services. This organization strives for everyone to be completely self-sufficient.

The big picture for Community Hand Up consists of: creating a corporate headquarters to house a food pantry, seasonal clothing closet, board meeting space and classrooms; an affordable housing program which includes building and managing a 5,000-unit housing complex based on combination Section 8 and Section 42 housing programs with units renters can convert to home ownership; and Transitional Housing program designed to help foster kids’ transition to adulthood through complete support of housing, employment and education.
