Mission Partner Testimonial
“Partnering with HMREF allows the CrossWalk Center team to place their energy into our core mission: serving and discipling people in the ways of Jesus who seek a fair chance at a full life after incarceration.
We no longer face the exhausting uphill battles of convincing landlords to lease properties, of losing a lease and displacing those we serve, and rent hikes above market value.
With HMREF owning and overseeing our group homes, the significant burden of facility maintenance is removed from CWC staff.
We are profoundly grateful.”
Kathy Vosburg
Executive Director, Crosswalk Center
