What We Do
Perkin's Homes Foundation of Alabama provides safe and affordable housing to individuals in need. Our shared housing strategy allows our residents to live in beautiful residential communities while sharing the cost of the home with other residents. Residents not only share in the cost of the home, but also are assigned weekly reposibilities to assist in maintaining the home. This strategy promotes a sense of stability and allows residents to rebuild their lives as a team and as a family. _____________________________________
