Does Your contribution matter?

Have you ever wondered if you could make a difference? When you donate to us 100% of your generous contribution will assist low to no income families and individuals experiencing homelessness who are below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level. The Cost of Living Data Series by Missouri Economic Research has found that the cost of living is steadily increasing in Connecticut, already the fifth most expensive state in which to live.  As you can see, the time to give has never been better!

Obstacles to financial self sufficency

 A brief analysis of the factors which affect homelessness relate directly to the lack of affordable housing, state cuts, and the competitive work market. Some of the challenges our participants face include unemployment, lack of education, addiction and mental health needs, as well as various disabilities. On average 2/3 are unemployed primarily because of lack of education, job skills, or a criminal record. 2/3 require assistance because of a major trauma such as a divorce, eviction, or health crisis. 100% of our families are employed at least part time, but do not make enough to make ends meet. 

The time to give has never been better!

The good news is you can be the hope our clients so desperately need! By making a donation you are part of the movement of change empowering 50 individuals and 12 families annually. Because of your financial help, last year we met our goal of housing 50% of our clients within a 50 day period, connecting 30% of our clients to employment services, and securing 50% of our clients  with consistent income. Talk about making an impact!
