Overview

Mission

Charitable organization offering financial assistance to individuals and families in need: rent, utilities, food, transportation, clothing, and any other types of assistance marginalized individuals and families may need.

What it reported doing in 2024

Housing assistance program. We assisted 412 marginalized individuals and families with rent payments that were either overdue or unable to be paid. In each case, we meet in person with the responsible individual(s), guide and counsel them regarding possible sources of assistance, and provide direct assistance as needed. This population includes: (a) homeless individuals and families transitioning from the streets to a shelter to an apartment; (b) persons fighting substance addiction through the services of local sober houses, in many cases transitioning from detox facilities; (c) individuals recently released from prison seeking the services of our volunteer Reentry team who help them identify housing options, sometimes including an aforementioned sober house location; (d) families with breadwinners experiencing recent job loss or personal challenges, compromising their ability to pay their rent; and (e) individuals and families with severely limited financial resources facing eviction due to unpaid rent. Some of our grant funds, as well as our fundraising funds, are targeted toward this key program.

The verdict
