Healing, Housing, and Hope for Every Journey

Resident of the Quarter: Amira 

Meet Amira D., our incredible Resident of the Quarter. Amira came to House of Dreams after struggling with substance use and unstable housing for over 3 years. As a transgender woman and registered citizen, Amira faced rejection, discrimination, and countless closed doors but not here.

Since joining House of Dreams in March, she’s become a fierce advocate for safety, self-worth, and second chances. She now has secured employment and is in the process of acquiring her passport. 

“This is the first place I’ve lived where I didn’t have to shrink or hide. I’m not just surviving anymore—I’m becoming.”

We are so proud of you, Amira! 

The 4th House Opens: Now Resident Recovery/Sober Living Ready

We’re excited to announce the opening of our 4th House of Dreams, now fully renovated and dedicated to sober living. This safe and structured environment supports residents who are in recovery and rebuilding their lives with clarity and dignity.
