Why It Matters

Why Housing Stability Matters

Stable housing is the foundation for everything else — education, employment, health, and family unity. When families lose that foundation, the consequences ripple across generations.

Family Preservation

Keeping families together during crisis prevents long-term trauma and reduces the need for costly interventions.

Veterans & Their Families

Veterans who served our country deserve dignified housing and community support as they transition to civilian life.

Youth & Education

Children in stable homes are more likely to stay in school, graduate, and break cycles of poverty.

Basic Necessities

Access to food, medicine, and essential services is inseparable from housing stability and overall wellness.

Our Story

A Promise Made to a Child

The story of Community Living & Wellness Centers of America begins with a nine-year-old child living in an unsafe home — and a promise that would not be forgotten.

Executive Director Mitanní Spruill-LeSueur witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of housing insecurity on children and families. That encounter became the founding commitment of CLWCA: to ensure that no family should have to endure the fear and instability of unsafe housing.

From that promise, CLWCA was born — a nonprofit dedicated to keeping families together, connecting people with the resources they need, and building pathways to lasting stability and dignity.
