The funds in this pot enable us to offer immediate stability to those in need by paying their rent, utility bills, car repairs, and money for food and basic needs. This is a bridge in place until we have gotten them long term support from the proper agency.

It takes money to help people in need. Compensation for the staff, which we keep as low as possible, administrative supplies, and funding to create programs in the community that support and improve agency efficiency and impact.

An innovative transitional housing program, supporting existing agencies to increase their effectiveness, skilled trades training programs that put people on a path to stable employment, long term trauma therapy to build foundational stability. These are but a few and they all require funding.
