2020 Impact Report

The Value of Secure Housing in Insecure Times

“Even before the effects of the pandemic, local housing scared us. We felt we’d be forced to stretch ourselves too thin if we were ever going to purchase a home here. Home is supposed to evoke a sense of security and comfort. Since purchasing our MHT home it is impossible to overstate how true that is. It was the one thing that grounded us at the beginning of the pandemic.” ~ Chris & Keri Moore, MHT homeowners
