Breaking New Ground

Housing is only the beginning.

A True Ground home is more than a place to live — it is a foundation for stability, connection, and possibility. Through resident-centered programs and meaningful community partnerships, residents build on their strengths, pursue their goals, and thrive in the communities they call home. Our certified Resident Services program supports households holistically as they reach for their goals.

We don’t build for our neighbors; we build with them.

About Us

Children, Youth, and Families

True Ground supports children, youth, and families as they learn, grow, and pursue new opportunities. Through youth enrichment, scholarships, children’s savings accounts, family-centered resource navigation, and connections to camps, school information, and educational programs, residents can access tools and relationships that support long-term success.

We also help families navigate systems and strengthen their ability to advocate for their goals.

Economic and Housing Stability

Stable housing creates room to plan, grow, and move toward future goals. True Ground partners with residents to strengthen financial resilience, maintain stability, and access resources that support everyday needs and long-term opportunity.

Programs include housing stability support, financial education, workforce connections, savings opportunities, household essentials, and personalized resource navigation.

Health and Wellness

True Ground supports residents of all ages as they pursue healthy, active, and connected lives. Through cooking classes, fitness programs, mental health resources, and wellness activities, residents can strengthen their well-being while building community.

The People’s Pantry brings fresh food and everyday resources closer to home, partnering with community organizations to support connection, nourishment, and well-being across True Ground communities. We also collaborate with local nonprofits to host additional onsite food distributions.

Seniors

True Ground supports older residents as they age-in-place with stability, connection, and purpose. Through proactive check-ins, resource navigation, and senior-focused programs, residents can access support tailored to their needs, stay socially connected, and remain active in the communities they call home.
