Bienestar builds housing, hope, and community for the wellbeing of Latinxs, immigrants, and all families in need. Bienstar builds the hard to find two-, three-, and four-bedroom affordable apartments that are crucial for a family with children. Bienstar currently owns and operates 12 affordable multifamily properties for more than 2,000 residents. Over 95% of their residents are Latinx, and many are immigrants and/or farmworkers. With the help of their trained community leaders, Promotores, their properties are more than just a place for families to live. They become thriving communities, where families feel safe, seen, supported and heard. Bienstar also offers a homeownership program, supportive housing services, and a youth program.
