About Us...

Our History

The Foundation for Safer Housing was founded in 2003 by our current Executive Director Gary Johnson of Laurel, Maryland. Our mission was simple and direct, “raise funds and do charitable work”. A Board of Directors was selected from some of the groundbreaking volunteers and a charter was formulated and submitted to the Federal Government and State of Maryland. The Foundation for Safer Housing was accepted as a 501(c)(3) Charity organization as defined by the Internal Revenue Service and the State of Maryland. “The Foundation for Safer Housing, Inc.” is chartered in the State of Maryland. All donations are 100% tax deductible.

 

The Foundation for Safer Housing's first sponsor was The National Association of Certified Inspectors (NACHI). NACHI Founder and good friend, Nick Gromicko, along with our current Executive Director Gary Johnson, pledged their own monies to give the Foundation a starting budget. It is through their generosity and vision that the Foundation has grown to its current status in the charitable sector. An ongoing strong partnership still exists to this day with the members of NACHI, and many new partnerships with various corporations have been formulated and secured.

Organizations and individuals such as:

 

The Foundation took off in leaps and bounds. In our first year of existence we made sizeable charitable donations to:

We established various programs, such as:
