In 2013, Kingdom Causes Bellflower (KCB) opened Margaret's House, a three-unit transitional home that offers short-term housing and services for low-income families with minor dependent children who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness.The program is designed to create a supportive environment that allows for relational and economic stability to be reestablished as families seek long-term housing solutions.

Margaret's House is supported by grants and donations, which includes mortgage payments, repairs, and program costs. It is our hope to eventually pay off the mortgage on Margaret's House so that more funding can be dedicated to other program needs.

KCB helps people get off the street, provides support services to those at risk of homelessness, creates pathways to sustainable work through social enterprise, and offers ongoing training and education to the community. KCB succeeds by inspiring, training, and mobilizing staff and hundreds of volunteers each year from churches, businesses, city leadership, service clubs, and other non-profit organizations. By balancing direct services and networked conversations, KCB maintains a lived philosophy that all of us are better than any of us.

The mission of KCB is to mobilize the community and provide transformative services so that neighbors have a place to live, work, and belong.

Other key programs of KCB include:

Homeless Care and Housing Stability (HCHS): A program that provides homeless outreach, rental assistance, case management, housing placement, retention services, housing navigation assistance, transportation to appointments and referrals to partner agencies.

Good Soil Industries (GSI): A landscaping social enterprise (non-profit business), with a mission to help hard-to-hire individuals work their way out of poverty.
