FOUNDED: 1987
HOW WE HELP: Porchlight collaborates with the community to provide shelter, affordable housing and supportive services that eliminate barriers and empower the clients we serve. Services include the Porchlight Drop-In Shelter and the Safe Haven and Veterans Transitional Housing programs. All initiatives focus on housing stabilization and/or case management.
THE IMPACT OF YOUR GIFT: Donations go to maintaining the housing properties we own so we don’t have to pass those costs on to the residents. Our clients pay rent, but community donations offset this cost to make it more affordable. Porchlight staff also teach residents and shelter guests how to live independently, including budgeting skills, health education, employment guidance and relationship management.
WAYS YOU CAN SUPPORT US:
- Donate unrestricted funds to Porchlight. This allows us to allocate money to programs with the highest needs.
- Give household items, such as dishes, toilet paper and personal hygiene supplies for people who are transitioning out of homelessness.
- Buy Porchlight Products in the grocery store. The sales from this program allow us to hire more residents, which supplements their SSI/ SSDI income.
