Volunteers of America is fortunate to have a partner like Wells Fargo who believes everyone should have a safe place to call home. In 2018 many pressures in the Sacramento area have continued to exacerbate affordability issues for both first-time home-buyers and renters. The combination of housing supply challenges, increasing transitions to rentals and net gains of homeowners moving from more expensive Bay Area communities leave Sacramento struggling to find homes and even temporary shelter. Kären Woodruff states, "We are excited to support new and creative ways to provide homes for those that want them.
