Challenge
Over the past year, the Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-housing program (HPRP) has helped close to 900 people receive the services and support they needed to prevent or end their homelessness.
More than $1.7 million allocated of these federal stimulus funds to be provided over 3 years; close to $1.55 million spent in the first 14 months.
At this rate, financial assistance available through HPRP will be exhausted any day.

Solution
Homelessness impacts all of us and each of us has a role in ending it.
We will raise $1 million for the Ending Homelessness Partnership Fund.
We do not need just money; time, effort and talents are all appreciated.
