The Way Home Celebrates 30 Years With Rental Campaign

Longtime non-profit The Way Home is launching a new rental campaign to celebrate 30 years helping low-income residents.

BEDFORD, NH - Over the past 30 years, The Way Home has assisted, often behind the scenes, more than 21,000 lower income families and individuals and veterans with housing affordability plans helping them take steps to secure and succeed in decent rental housing.

In recognition of its 30th year, the agency is launching “The Way Home’s Spring Forward” fund-raising campaign. The effort will support renovations and upgrades to its housing units across the city, enabling the agency to serve additional clients and individuals with special needs.

Throughout 2018, The Way Home will be holding events to commemorate its 30th year of service.
As soon as we opened,” recalled Mary Sliney, Executive Director and founder of The Way Home. “We knew that the security deposit was ‘only the key to open the door.’ We quickly designed housing services to prevent the loss of housing once secured.”

As is the case with other agencies, there is often a waiting list for services, but the agency remains undeterred. “It can be overwhelming at times, but we remain strongly committed to reaching those most in-need.” said Sliney, “In 1988 we opened our doors with the help of a concerned community. Through this fund drive, we are seeking support to open new doors in 2018.”

The agency welcomes gifts of any amount and 100% of the funds raised directly support a broad range of building and improvement projects.
