Juan Bauman The Nehemiah Program – – Florissant, MO was built on the principle that everyone deserves a place to call home. Home represents so much more for people than a place to simply sleep. It represents access and independence. It represents the USA Dream. However, many families believe that it is not within their reach.We give hope, we revive dreams. We are changing lives and inspiring those that need us most with the gift of freedom through the path of home ownership! Join our team by volunteering or giving, and help us save some of our communities most vulnerable lives!
