From homelessness to home.
Tedford Housing is a nonprofit organization based in Brunswick, Maine, dedicated to empowering individuals and families to move from homelessness to home. Through our comprehensive programs, we work to prevent homelessness, provide safe emergency housing, and offer long-term solutions. By offering support, resources, and stability, we help our neighbors transition to permanent housing, stabilizing our community one household at a time.
