Our Vision

Focusing on Children’s Academic Success, Financial and Housing Stability, and Family Well-Being

For over a decade, the Siemer Institute has been dedicated to assisting families in need across the United States achieving greater housing stability and enhancing their children’s educational prospects. At the heart of our mission is the commitment to a two-generation (2Gen) approach, that addresses the needs of parents or caregivers and children simultaneously, promoting holistic family support. Through our partnership with community organizations, we implement 2Gen programs that are centered on keeping kids in their schools and preventing unplanned moves. This approach ensures that families receive the comprehensive support they need to thrive.
