Housing Matters and MicroMatching

It’s Monday...how are you going to help change the world this week? 52andChange is all about giving a little, together, to create a meaningful impact. We’re humbled to bring back Housing Matters to benefit from our MicroMatching program (all gifts will be matched, up to $500!) through Sunday.

Housing Matters partners with individuals and families to create pathways out of homelessness into permanent housing. Help support their inspiring efforts by giving $1, $2, $3… up to $10! Start with $1 and see how it feels!

Their services include:

• The Loft is a low-barrier shelter for up to 57 individuals at a time, open to adults who are currently experiencing homelessness and who are partnering with Housing Matters to end their homelessness.

• The Recuperative Care Center: shelters up to 12 individuals experiencing homelessness to recover/stabilize after a hospital stay while receiving integrated social services including housing planning, mental health care, benefits enrollment, and substance use treatment.

• Rebele Family Shelter: provides emergency shelter for up to 28 households with children. Families reside in the shelter while working toward obtaining permanent housing.

• Page Smith Community House is now being transitioned into the future site of 120 units of permanent and supportive housing for people experiencing chronic homelessness.

• Day Services: free and open to the entire community. They offer hot showers daily, 24/7 restrooms, and a mailroom where those who don’t have a permanent address get their mail.
  

Right now we need innovative, proactive solutions to homelessness. Housing Matters is not only housing people without homes and helping them find their way back to independence; they are also showing the rest of us how it's done. Find out more and give here!

Thanks for giving a little, and sharing a lot as we grow our microgiving community to have a greater impact each week.
