A Home Filled with Love, Put Together By You
Adopt-An-Apartment Program
At Brethren Housing Association, we know that providing a safe place to call home is the first step toward lasting change. For many of the families we serve, walking into their BHA apartment is the first time they’ve ever felt truly safe, supported, and cared for. Most families who arrive at BHA have very few belongings — no furniture, no household items, and certainly no U-Haul full of treasures.
So how do we turn an empty apartment into a home filled with the essentials and a touch of warmth? Through our Adopt-An-Apartment Program.
Transform an Empty Apartment
This vital program ensures that families in our Transitions Program can begin their journey with the tools they need to succeed. Volunteers from churches, community groups, families, or corporations transform empty apartments into welcoming homes. They clean, furnish, and decorate the space, creating a haven for the incoming family to call their own. When families step into a fully furnished apartment, they’re stepping into a new chapter filled with dignity and possibility. By adopting an apartment, you’re not just providing furniture and decorations — you’re giving a family hope, stability, and the chance to start over.

How Our Program Works
Whether you’re a church group, community organization, family, or business, your involvement in the Adopt-An-Apartment Program is a tangible way to make a lasting impact. Together, we can transform an empty space into a true home and help families take the first steps toward a brighter future.
Prepare the Space: Volunteers clean the apartment, ensuring it’s fresh and inviting.
Furnish and Decorate: Teams provide furniture, linens, kitchen supplies, and personal touches to make the apartment a warm, welcoming space.
Set Families Up for Success: After families graduate from the Transitions Program, they can take the furniture and household items with them, making their move to permanent housing easier and more affordable.
