  • Integrated Housing and Animal Welfare
    methodology: integrated_housing_and_animal_welfare
    By allowing tenants to keep their pets in affordable housing units, we strengthen housing stability and human well-being, because the human-animal bond reduces isolation, supports mental health, and prevents pet surrender as a barrier to secure housing.
