About Bell Ringing
Moving up and out
Few moments show the strength of our families like the Bell Ringing ceremony. Ringing the bell means a family is moving up and out. EBRPHA loves to celebrate each family that reaches independence.

EBRPHA celebrates families who stand on their own, buy a home, or earn a degree. The ceremony marks how far they have come and the new chapter ahead.

“Creating an exciting new chapter of their own.”

Why families ring the bell
Self-sufficiency

Finding independence

Families who reach full self-sufficiency ring the bell to mark the moment they no longer need housing assistance.
Homeownership

Buying a home

When a family moves from renting with a voucher to owning a home, the bell rings to honor that milestone.
Education

Earning a degree

Families who earn a degree with EBRPHA's support ring the bell to celebrate that achievement.
