Preventing Homelessness during a pandemic

COVID-19 has affected everyone on the planet in some way...but for the most vulnerable, already difficult life circumstances have become impossible to navigate.

We launched a special campaign to help prevent families from becoming homeless that have been directly affected by the pandemic.

Seven non-profits are working together with families, landlords, and local government to help ease the burden. This non-profit collaboration has streamlined a housing assistance application process and are helping those families with a plan to move forward in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Give "today"
​ and help change a neighbor's life!

When we all work together...

Neighbors Helping Neighbors

How does a centralized process help?

• ​Rental assistance and case management will get where it is needed quicker.
• Enables families to make a plan and stabilize. It is much more cost effective to keep a family in their home than to re-house them once they become homeless.
• It prevents the duplication of cases and allows non-profits to conserve resources like funds, staff and time.
