Join us in celebrating the birthday of Jill Shook, co-founder of Making Housing and Community Happen, who turns 70 years old on Wednesday, November 1. Jill has been tirelessly working for affordable housing for 23 years, advocating, organizing teams and churches, giving workshops nationwide, and publishing a book, Making Housing Happen: Faith-Based Affordable Housing Models, that has been used in campuses across the country.
Jill has worked tirelessly, but is not getting any younger and is aware that our organization needs to plan for a transition when she can no longer work at her current pace. We need to hire younger staff to replace her (and her husband Anthony). Both Jill and Anthony feel led by the Spirit to work full-time as volunteers. Replacing them will require significant funds.
If you'd like to express your appreciation for Jill, please contact her at jill@makinghousinghappen.org and make a contribution in her name to MHCH by clicking here. Your support will help us to plan for a bright future for MHCH and to continue Jill's legacy.
Also please join us on Nov. 19 when we celebrate the 5th anniversary of Making Housing and Community Happen and honor affordable housing rock stars as well as Jill's 70th birthday. T
