Homes for the Holidays: APAH and Bridges to Independence

It’s the season of giving, and from our philanthropic businesses and community nonprofits, to our charitable partnerships and volunteer programs: Ballston is proudly one of the most engaged and caring neighborhoods in our region. Joining us for the holidays on BallstonConnect, we have two of our community’s most impactful organizations – and Ballston Holiday Wreath Market beneficiaries.

Carmen Romero is the President and CEO of Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing – a nonprofit focused on increasing the availability of committed affordable housing units across our region.

Sam Kelly is the Chief Executive Officer of Bridges to Independence – a nonprofit leading individuals and families in Arlington County out of homelessness and into stable, independent futures.

How do these organizations work to support our neighborhood? Why is their work critical to the growth and development of communities across our region? And what are some of the ways they’ve navigated the pandemic?
