First Presbyterian Church has been partnering with Rush Homes for just a few years with financial support and hands on service!
Rush Homes is an organization that strives to place individuals with disabilities and/or low income with affordable housing. Rush Homes currently owns 99 homes in both Lynchburg and Madison Heights specifically designated for affordable rental to individuals with disabilities and low income.
Most recently, they were able to redesign the old Armstrong School Building into apartments for their population of clients. As the organization builds deeper relationships with its clients, additional needs or areas of support are discovered. Rush Homes is learning how to adapt in order to help support some of the holistic needs their clients face.
