PROVIDING DISABLED
INDIVIDUALS WITH
A PLACE TO CALL HOME.
Who We Are
The Isaiah James Foundation is a public charity (501-C3) an organization of dedicated individuals who aim to serve the disabled community.
The housing situation for the disabled community is currently inadequate and we believe they deserve better.
In order to address this issue, Isaiah James would like to provide affordable housing and wrap-around services to those who have disabilities.
Our Purpose
The purpose of The Isaiah James Foundation is to offer diversity and inclusion in housing by providing clean, affordable, eco friendly home modules to persons with disabilities. The target age group is 21-50.
This group of disenfranchised men and women are often overlooked for service due to their age. Isaiah James will work to offer a community of independent living by providing housing resources, life skills, training, counseling, and job placement assistance. These and other services will equip the target group with the assistance needed to foster independence and promote self-esteem.
