said Bob Campbell, executive director of the Zion Development Center.

Zion aims to solve the homeless problem. They already he has created over 160 affordable housing units.

“Like many others, I’ve learned that the best way to end homelessness is to provide people with homes,” Campbell said. “And while people pay rent and all units are subsidized, everyone has to pay part of the rent out of their own pocket and we are on site to provide support services. I will never re-experience homelessness because I am homeless.”

Zion also works outside the residence when the community requires it.

“Most of our focus is in the world of affordable housing, but we believe it is because of our willingness to expand our business beyond that and because we know we need to address the needs of our communities. is our top priority and we will be working with people — people who have the necessary expertise to meet the needs of the community,” Campbell said.
