Home > Who We Are >
The face of homelessness is changing here.
• An increase in people struggling to afford rent, housing, and necessities.
• More and more people live below the poverty line.
• Women with children are escaping domestic abuse, not being able to find a secure roof for their family.
• Those who are having a mental health crisis, do not have the resources or safe space to heal.
• Families who live paycheck to paycheck, sometimes unable to eat a normal nutritious diet.
We want to change that. And we need YOUR help. Just look at these sobering stats…
