Our Story
Sheltering Tree Housing Corporation was founded by Tom and Shirley McNally, driven by their Orthodox Christian values and a personal mission to support individuals with developmental disabilities. After recognizing the urgent need for safe and affordable housing for their son, who was born with Down syndrome, the McNally family dedicated themselves to creating a solution. With over 30 years of experience in the housing industry, they established a model for residential living in 2006, culminating in the opening of the first Sheltering Tree location in 2008, thanks to the collaboration of local churches, private donors, and families.
