The DACKKs Group for Supportive Housing Development, a Bergen County, New Jersey, charity, is dedicated to helping the homeless make the transition to independent living. Our mission is simple. With the help of dedicated volunteers and the financial support from government and foundation grants, and private donors, we purchase properties -condominium units, single- and multi-family homes -throughout the Bergen County, New Jersey, area to rent to the homeless and special needs populations for thirty percent of their income...whatever their income.
and the first report card has been released. Check it out!
It's Spring 2009 and DACKKs is on the move.
for the placement of disabled, chronically homeless individuals.

Gladys Lester Gladys was a tireless contributor to the DACKKs Group for years. She sewed and hung curtains, painted, cleaned bathrooms, collected furniture, organized fundraisers - including a plant sale and a street long garage sale - baked desserts for the fundraisers, assembled silent auction baskets - throughout, sharing her insight and endless good humor. As if she didn't already work so hard on our behalf, this past November, Gladys joined the board of directors. Always positive, warm and wise, Gladys lived life the way she wanted to - on her terms - refusing to let her twenty year battle against breast cancer define it for her. We are honored to have been touched by her warm embrace. |
