January 19, 2023 -- Former American Baptist Homes of the West (ABHOW) board member James Ella James has donated a major legacy gift to two affordable housing communities in the Northern California region. HumanGood communities Allen Temple Arms I & II are beneficiaries of the gift, which will inspire residents to engage in new programs and enhance the overall quality of their lives, as well as the experiences shared throughout the community.
