Van Parker's Housing Connector Fundraiser

Housing Connector is a tech-powered nonprofit that increases access to housing for individuals and families affected by screening barriers.

Housing instability often looks different than what many assume. People frequently face shared barriers such as poor or nonexistent credit history, legal issues, prior evictions, and income restrictions that can prevent them from finding long-term housing. 

Housing Connector's founder, Shkëlqim Kelmendi experienced this firsthand when he and his family had to flee his home country and were granted asylum right here in Dallas, TX. After years of working in the housing industry, Shkëlqim created Housing Connector as a way to open more doors to people who need it most. Housing Connector works to make safe and stable housing within reach for individuals and families facing screening barriers.

We believe that no unit should sit vacant while there are folks in need of a home. With your support, we can make housing stability a reality for all.
