Housing Stability, Independent Living & Community Connection
Next Chapter Houseâ„¢ is a housing stability and community living initiative supported by True Impact Foundationâ„¢. Housing accommodations are provided and managed through The S&T Group, LLC. Designed to provide safe, stable, and supportive housing opportunities, the program helps adults and seniors build, maintain, or regain independence while living in a respectful and welcoming environment.
More than just housing, Next Chapter Houseâ„¢ creates opportunities for connection, personal growth, and an improved quality of life. Our homes are designed to foster dignity, belonging, and community while encouraging residents to remain as independent and self-sufficient as possible.
Through a shared living model, residents benefit from a peaceful home environment where isolation is reduced, meaningful relationships are encouraged, and everyday living is supported through access to resources, life-skills guidance, and community engagement opportunities. While we do not provide medical or skilled nursing services, we help connect residents with trusted community partners and service providers when additional support is needed.
Next Chapter Houseâ„¢ serves adults and seniors who may be experiencing housing instability, life transitions, social isolation, mobility challenges, or simply desire a supportive community-centered living environment. Our program is especially committed to helping older adults age in place with dignity while maintaining their independence and connection to others.
As True Impact Foundationâ„¢ continues to grow, we remain committed to expanding access to inclusive housing opportunities, including future ADA-compliant and wheelchair-accessible homes that support individuals with disabilities and mobility needs.
At its heart, Next Chapter Houseâ„¢ is built on a simple belief: everyone deserves a safe place to live, meaningful connections, and the opportunity to thrive. Through housing, community, and compassionate support, we help individuals write the next chapter of their lives with dignity, purpose, and hope.

About the Founder: Samantha True
FROM WHEEL CHAIR TO BOSS CHAIR!!
Samantha True, founder of True Impact Foundation, brings a deeply personal lens to this work. Living with a diagnosed autoimmune illness herself, she understands firsthand the struggles of navigating stigma, systems, and the process of starting over. Her life story is one of resilience, reinvention, and rising—like a phoenix—from the ashes of adversity into a life of purpose and advocacy.
True Impact Foundation is more than a nonprofit; it's a living extension of her broader platform, Samantha True Pathways, which is dedicated to creating real, lasting change for the overlooked and underserved: disabled individuals, system-impacted youth, and people reentering society post-incarceration.
Everything we do is rooted in lived experience, deep empathy, and a commitment to restorative work.
We don't just provide services; we restore dignity, power, and possibility.
