Our Needs
Housing and Weatherization Services
WAMY's housing program works with low-income families to make their homes safer and more energy efficient. We have programs that can provide minor repairs and rehabilitation to homes owned by low-income in Watauga, Avery, Mitchell and Yancey Counties.
Youth Development
Last year, WAMY served 274 children in our Youth Development Program. This provided childcare for the parents as well as a fun educational experience for the children. The kids enjoyed all the benefits of a safe and enriching environment, while parents receive peace of mind knowing their child is being cared for throughout the day.
