Over the decades, it has expanded from six HUD homes to 37 units, evolving into a holistic program that addresses financial independence, career development, and family stability. Under Executive Director Karen Allen’s leadership since 2016, BeyondHome has integrated trauma-informed therapy, workforce development, and educational support to empower families toward self-sufficiency. Since its inception, BeyondHome has housed hundreds of families, with 49 graduating since 2016—29 of whom became homeowners.
