Recent months have seen us making positive strides in affordable housing for our caregivers.
Vacancy rates continue to be very low in many of our regions, making it challenging for caregivers for find housing. Providence is at the forefront of this work, and our efforts will remove barriers and create a difference for recruitment and retention of caregivers.
At this time, there are developments occurring in both Oregon and Alaska. Housing options are either on-campus or in the vicinity of our ministries, making it both convenience stress-free for caregivers eligible for these upcoming units.
