More Than Housemates

Some friendships begin because people live together.

The best ones grow because people genuinely enjoy life together—and show up for one another along the way.

For Ken and Aaron, a shared birthday, countless memories, and years of mutual support have created a friendship that goes far beyond being housemates.

Aaron gives Ken a hand when he needs one, and Ken helps keep Aaron on track with reminders along the way. True partners.

Whether they're attending community events, celebrating milestones, or cheering on their favorite teams, they continue to look out for one another.

And while they may cheer for different teams, their ongoing sports debates have evolved into next-level trash talk. The banter has become a beloved part of their legendary friendship.

Behind the scenes, Program Specialist Charles Michel helps create opportunities for that friendship to flourish. By encouraging shared experiences, community involvement, and outings centered around their shared love of sports, he understands something important: meaningful relationships need opportunities to grow.

Because belonging isn't just about where we live.

It's about who shows up for us, who makes us laugh, and who is always in our corner.
