TURNING EMPTY LIVING SPACE INTO A WELCOMING HOME
HOW CAN YOU HELP H2H?
Those recovering from addiction often need a place to recover. Whether they do not want to return to an old home and old habits, they are making a fresh start in a new place, or they do not have the means to find their own space, the people we help need somewhere to live. The House2Home Project (H2H) helps them find it.
Through the H2H Project, M28 partners with other community-based agencies, organizations, and churches who help families and individuals. They move from homeless shelters, difficult life circumstances, or transitional housing by using our good used furnishings and interior design services.
Our mission is to turn an empty living space into a clean and cozy home where a family or an individual will feel proud of their surroundings. This frees them to spend more time and personal resources on education, employment, raising children and creating a future for themselves. It’s a simple idea but has a transforming impact on the future of those who are committed to life change.
You can help us help those rebuilding their lives by regifting furniture, volunteering your time, and financially backing this effort.

HOW DOES THIS WORK?
A partnering agency makes a referral. Our interior design staff meets with an individual/family to do a basic needs assessment. This, along with a checklist and timetable for implementation, moves the project forward.
The designers invite the client to check our showroom inventory for the items they desire, such as furnishings, accessories and housewares. Here, the designer makes recommendations and assists with color selection, spatial designing, accessories and the like.
The client (and referring agency) pick up and move items from our showroom to the living space. The designer assists with placement of furniture and accessories. The end result is a place the client or family will be proud to live in and share hospitality with others.
All referrals must come through a partnering agency.
