Born Free & Habitat for Humanity Project
Habitat for Humanity Riverside has agreed to work outside of its usual
area to help the YWCA’s Born Free Program. Through this collaboration
we are working to build a duplex so that we can continue to house our 6
Born Free clients as they work through their recovery and pregnancy.
Additionally we will have the space to house 3 of our graduates in our
Sober Living house so that they will remain on track to leading a drug free life for themselves and their babies. Thank you, Habitat for Humanity!!!
