AmeriCorps
VISTA of Resource Development
ARM coordinates affordable housing and home repair efforts in rural, low income areas of Alabama, predominantly in Sumter, Macon, and Lee counties. ARM runs mission sites to host volunteers doing home repair. ARM helps families apply for home repair grants through partnerships with the USDA, HUD, and the Community Development Block Grant in the City of Auburn. With these programs, ARM provides more extensive repair and some of this work is contracted and some is completed using volunteers. ARM provides day camps and after-school ministry programs for children in the areas where we are providing repair. Finally, we develop community partnerships and have student groups on university campuses.
