As we step into Black History Month, let's acknowledge not only the rich history and achievements of African Americans but also the challenges that persist.

This statistic reflects deep-rooted systemic issues that need our urgent attention and action. At Humility Homes and Services, we are committed to addressing these disparities and providing support to all in need.
