CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments

Williamson County is rated the 7th wealthiest county in the country. When families are starting over after leaving their violent homes, they typically cannot afford to stay in their established community. With a year of support, they are able to complete education, advance in their jobs and complete court cases so they can live independently.
