Bienestar builds housing, hope, and community for the wellbeing of Latinxs, immigrants, and all families in need. We envision and develop neighborhoods where residents find dignity, hope, confidence, skills, and courage to pursue their dreams. For this reason, we have been a provider of both quality affordable housing and resident services; and we continue that tradition through our leadership development programs, community outreach, and educational programs for youth. Bienestar is a nonprofit that owns and operates 12 affordable multifamily properties for more than 500 families. That’s about 2,000 residents in Bienestar housing alone. Over 95% of our residents are Latinx, and many are immigrants and/or farmworkers.
