Bringing about meaningful change for the people we serve
Special projects and funds are a vital part of how Homeless Solutions fills a need beyond the stable housing, case management, and supportive services we offer, allowing us to pursue unique initiatives and address critical needs in our programs. By leveraging these focused resources we can address specific challenges that wouldn't be possible through general funding alone.
Sponsorship funds like the Family Angel Network help give families in our Transitional Housing Program a brighter future by helping defray the cost of living while in the program.
Single projects like room renovations and campus improvements enable us to tackle specific goals and implement innovative solutions. Our shelter family kitchen renovation in 2024 brought life to a room in need of some love and maximized the space better for multi-family use.
Upgrades to our playgrounds, shared spaces and campus buildings will improve the quality of life for our guests and tenants and let them focus on their journey back to stable, permanent housing. Your generosity through these projects maximize your impact as a supporter and ultimately brings about meaningful change for the people we serve.
Give Comfort . . .
Sponsor a Family Shelter Room
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to move into a home without any household essentials? This is the reality for so many families coming into our shelter program, making the emotional and physical transition even more challenging for them.
HSI’s Sponsor a Family Shelter Room is a way for interested individuals, companies and community groups to help families feel a sense of comfort and ease as they begin their journey out of homelessness.
A gift of $550 will support the purchase of curated contents for a family moving into the shelter. Fresh sheets, a cozy comforter, pillows, towels and a bedside nightlight (offering a sense of security for little ones in a new environment) are some of the essentials your gift will make possible. These items not only provide comfort and warmth, but a feeling of peace, so families have the ability to focus on rebuilding their life knowing their basic needs are being met.
Your kindness will endure, as our families will be able to take the sponsored room items when they move to their next housing destination. Complete the form below to join us as a Family Shelter Room sponsor today and help us give families hope for a better future.
You will receive a gift receipt once your gift has been processed. In addition, you will be notified when your sponsor package has been shared with a family!
