Willis Dady Homeless Services wcarter Jun 20 2025

Willis Dady Homeless Services' mission is to empower all experiencing homelessness to build futures of self-sufficiency through advocacy, housing, and employment. Renovations will improve the quality of life for veterans living at Westminster House by adding a ramp to its wrap-around porch, stabilizing weak spots on the porch, remodeling the first-floor bathroom for ADA accessibility, replacing kitchen appliances, moving the laundry machines to the first floor, mitigating pest and gutter concerns, and equipping tenants to maintain the property by purchasing a shed with new lawn and snow equipment. With the Low’s Hometowns grant, the organization will be able to empower aging veterans with accessible, community-focused, and affordable housing for years to come.
