​Housing First: How You Can Help


“WELCOME HOME” KITS & “ADOPT-A-HOMELESS” SUPPORT PROGRAM

If you have items that you wish to donate to the Housing First program, please click here.
Ten Ways to Help End Homelessness
Volunteer
Donate
The Cumberland County Housing First Collaborative is working to end chronic homelessness in our region…but we need your help. Since 2017, with your support, we have housed over 100 chronically homeless individuals! However, we need your support to continue this great work!
 
A unique feature of our Housing First Program is that we are incorporating the community to help our homeless neighbors. We are asking that families, groups, organizations, churches, companies, etc., assist by “adopting a homeless neighbor” which involves doing one or more of the following:
  1. Providing a “Welcome Home” Kit by collecting household items for individuals as they move off the streets into permanent housing.
  2. Donating $2500 to the M25 Initiative to support housing a chronically homeless individual. This would allow us to house up to 40 people in 2019!
  3. OPTIONAL: Providing a supportive community to our homeless neighbors as they are transitioning from homelessness to getting their lives on a firm footing.
 
We believe in a holistic approach to helping our neighbors and we need your assistance!
 
To get started, please review the materials enclosed in this packet. You can sign-up by visiting www.endhomelessness2020.org and filling out a quick online form and we will be in touch. You can also email our Welcome Home Coordinator Deborah Ogelsby at dogelsby@m25initiative.org for more information or call 1-844-M25-HOPE ext. 719.
 
We will work with you each step of the way and our Case Management Team is available to assist you with any questions you may have.
