The mission of BHA is to provide transitional housing for individuals and families with housing needs in an atmosphere of hope, respect, humility, and patience.
Emphasis is placed on goal setting and developing life skills and self-esteem.
Since 1989, Brethren Housing Association has been reaching out to those whose lives are shattered because of poverty and homelessness. They've come seeking shelter, a place to call home, another chance at life. Brethren Housing Association is comprised of a coalition of eight Church of the Brethren congregations who have banned together to provide housing and case management services to some of Harrisburg's low and very low income families. To do this, BHA purchased and renovated four properties, which contain 13 living units, on Hummel Street in Harrisburg. Through volunteer labor, these properties are maintained and used in BHA's program.
