Why We Can’t Stay Silent

At Singleton Legacy Homes, we believe that silence is complicity. That’s why we created this blog—No Room for Silence: The Unhoused Truth—to name what others won’t, to speak on what too many ignore, and to share the stories that rarely make headlines but live at the heart of our work.

Housing insecurity isn’t just a statistic. It’s someone’s mother, brother, friend. It’s the woman who aged out of foster care without a support system. It’s the man who served his country but couldn’t find his footing when he got home. It’s the elder who worked their whole life but still can’t afford rent on a fixed income. These are not failures of character—they’re failures of a system. And that truth deserves a voice.

Why This Blog Exists

This blog is not marketing. It’s not fluff. It’s a platform for truth-telling, community healing, and radical transparency.

We created this space because too often, the people closest to the crisis are the farthest from the microphone. That ends here.

We will use this blog to:

• Share stories of residents who’ve overcome impossible odds

• Highlight the cracks in the system—and the people falling through them

• Showcase the everyday work of building safe, shared, stable housing

• Reflect on what it takes to restore dignity, one room at a time

What “No Room for Silence” Means to Us

The name isn’t just a slogan. It’s a stance.

There’s no room for silence in the face of injustice.
No room for silence when families are forced to sleep in cars or shelters.
No room for silence when outdated policies and deep-rooted biases leave people unhoused.
No room for silence when we know better—and can do better.

Our work is about creating space—literal and spiritual—for people to land, grow, and rebuild. And part of that work is speaking up. Loudly. Consistently. Unapologetically.

What You’ll Find Here

This blog will cover:

• Personal stories from residents and staff

• Spotlights on unsung community heroes

• Honest reflections on running shared housing in a broken system

• Calls to action, advocacy updates, and education

• Insights on what we’re learning, and how we’re growing

Whether you're a social worker, a policymaker, a future resident, or just someone who cares—there’s something here for you.

Join Us in the Work

We’re not here to make people comfortable. We’re here to make people see.

So read the stories. Share them. Talk about them at your dinner table. Bring them into your boardrooms, your classrooms, your places of worship.

Because housing is a human right — and silence helps no one.

This is our fight. And now that you’re here, it’s yours, too.
