Help More People Like Teresa Find a Home All Year Long

Teresa came to us in March after her apartment building was sold. She was given very short notice to move, and without savings or family to take her in, she quickly became homeless and entered a shelter. She was on a fixed income and had lost vital documents in the chaos of being forced to leave her home. All of this made it nearly impossible for her to secure housing on her own.


Our Housing Navigator immediately helped her secure a replacement ID and Social Security card, and together they began searching for her new home.

Through our partnership with Holsten Human Capital Development, which develops low income and affordable housing, our team was able to identify prospective homes for Teresa. We provided transportation to her apartment viewings, supported her through the entire application process, and helped her move in with food, clothing, and essential kitchen supplies. Today she is safely housed in her new home. She is no longer living in crisis and is now rebuilding her life with dignity.

Stories like Teresa’s happen because our dedicated staff are there to walk with clients every step of the way. Right now, you can help make even more of these stories possible.

 

New This December: Monthly Gifts Are Matched for 12 Months

A supporter was so moved by our Giving Tuesday community that they pledged a surprise $10,000 match on top of the match goal we already reached. Their match will include 12 months of any new monthly donor’s gift. This means:


  • $10 per month becomes $120 matched

  • $25 per month becomes $300 matched

  • $50 per month becomes $600 matched




Monthly donors sustain the work that made Teresa’s new home possible. This includes replacing lost documentation, providing transportation to apartment viewings, filling out rental applications, and explaining complicated lease agreements so clients secure a safe and stable home.


Your commitment today will be doubled for an entire year. You will be helping more men and women exit homelessness -- for good. 


Become a monthly donor and make 12 months of impact
