WHY HASTINGS, WHY NOW?
Hastings, like most other towns in America, has the immediate need for housing.
Immediate.
Families, veterans, elderly, children, folks just like you and me need safe, affordable housing. Wages are not keeping up with basic expenses. Housing costs and availablity don't match up with the need.
We Believe
Renewed believes catastrophic loss and
trauma result in a broken spirit that needs
to be restored by belonging, being a
neighbor, a friend, and a community.
​
All humans deserve the dignity of our basic human needs to be met, when family is not available
or able, we believe the community can.
We can change the stigma and our community,
by creating an environment for people to heal
and thrive until we see individuals fully alive
and a viable part of their community.
So renewed walks along aside another.
To renew hope, to find dignity,
to be a new family forged!
​
We provide permanence in a world of instability.
