ABOUT THE EVENT
What is The Science of Housing?
Housing is more than a roof — it’s the foundation for education, health, and opportunity.
The Science of Housing presented by United Bank is Housing Families First’s reimagined annual fundraiser that brings supporters together for a night of discovery, connection, and impact.
Together, we’ll uncover how safe, stable housing creates better outcomes for families and how your support is a critical part of the equation.
WHY IT MATTERS
The Formula for Change
When families have stable housing:
- Children succeed in school 📚
- Parents gain financial independence 💼
- Health improves ❤️
- Futures become brighter 🌟
Every ticket purchased, sponsorship secured, and auction item donated helps families move from homelessness to home — and stay there.
