The relationships at Genesis help me see myself differently, to believe I can achieve my dreams and to be there so my kids can too.

Mi Casa’s training academy helps me stay informed. It is how I learn more about cooperatives.

Ryan Waddy, Diversity Cooperative

It’s a blessing to have someone like Mi Casa walk you through the process, train you and then hand over the reins to you so you can steer your own ship. Working with Mi Casa is really empowering.

The comfort, feeling good about a new place, and getting to know and care for my neighbors, getting to be part of a family – I love it here. It makes me feel safe.

Mi Casa’s training academy helps me stay informed. This is the best help, and now I can understand more about cooperatives. A good resource.

Resident, Diversity Cooperative

…I need to be in a community that I feel like I can thrive in and that I have something to offer something beneficial to somebody else and that was this kind of community…and being around young people and the vibrancy of this community helps me a great deal.
