Westminster Home Connection has been one of our ministry partners for several years. In the 2022 Annual Report, Keith Branson, the Executive Director, writes,
A little more than 10 years ago, in the wake of the devastating Nashville flood, a group of people in a faith community saw a need for home improvements among older adults … so they rolled up their sleeves and got to work. As that initial group fixed and modified more and more homes, they realized this need went far beyond a handful of individuals. Safely aging in place and remaining in the home and community where you’ve built your life is a near universal desire, but for many, it can be financially out of reach. … As home prices and construction costs continue to soar, Middle Tennessee will never be able to build its way out of the affordable housing crisis. The WHC model preserves the affordability of existing homes owned by older adults and persons with disabilities by ensuring they remain livable.
