Building Hope, Transforming Lives, and Strengthening Harrisburg

Helping Families Experiencing Homelessness Since 1989

At Brethren Housing Association (BHA), we believe every family deserves a chance to thrive. Nestled in the heart of Harrisburg’s Allison Hill, we do more than provide housing — we empower families to overcome challenges and build brighter futures. With stable housing, loving support, and transformative programs, we help single parents and children find hope and stability.

Empowering Families to Grow and Thrive

For 35 years, BHA has been a cornerstone in our community, not only addressing homelessness but actively improving the quality of life in Harrisburg. Our programs tackle the root causes of instability, offering trauma-informed care, financial education, and life skills training. Families in our program leave with more than just a roof over their heads — they gain the tools and confidence to flourish independently.

Changing Lives and Strengthening Our Neighborhood

Revitalizing Allison Hill Block by Block

Through housing rehabilitation and community partnerships, we’ve transformed once-abandoned spaces into homes filled with love and opportunity.

Our efforts have spurred meaningful change in Harrisburg, proving that when families succeed, so does our city.

Your Support Fuels This Transformation!
