For our neighbor Victoria, living with Anawim Housing represents something deeply meaningful: independence. After spending much of her life in apartments, she recently moved into her first home. “I get to be myself here,” Victoria says, “I don’t have to worry about other people above or below me. It’s my own space. I get to be free.” Anawim Housing offers affordable homes in neighborhoods across Des Moines, giving residents the opportunity to choose the communities that fit their lives best. For Victoria, that includes the simple but powerful convenience of being able to walk to her job everyday.
