Matter is Riding to End Youth Homelessness On November 15th, we’re joining the Healesville Tour de PIF: Tour for Homeless Youth - a cycling challenge dedicated to raising funds to provide young Australians facing homelessness with a safe, secure home. Every night, 46,000 young people experience homelessness and half of them are turned away from accommodation services. Through the Property Industry Foundation, we have a chance to make a real difference. Every donation helps build much-needed housing and provides ongoing support for young people in need. With in-kind contributions from the property and construction industry, every $1 donated is doubled in value. Our goal is to raise $2,000, and we need your help to reach it. Let’s allow homeless youth to shape their own futures. Click here: https://lnkd.in/eynvfVwm to sponsor our team and help us make a lasting impact. Together, we can help end youth homelessness. #TourDePIF #TeamMatter #EndYouthHomelessness #SupportTheCause #DonateNow

THIS IS NOT A POST - IT IS A BLATANT ASK..... I am chasing you, as part of my network; PLEASE DONATE: https://lnkd.in/gw3Egsf Last year, Covenant House Vancouver’s #Sleepout: Executive Edition, raised over $1.2 million for short-term Crisis Program, allowing them to create hope and opportunities for young people in need. All funds raised for Sleep Out: Executive Edition directly support the Crisis Program at Covenant House Vancouver. Its #November 5th, and #Sleepout2024 is on #November 21st, and we need more funds. November is a Cold Month. It's the First of Winter's really Cold months, and already, we have witnessed severe rain events that have hit our communities hard in the last few weeks. To me, these events were simply discomfort. To at risk Youth, these events represent #Crisis. I am unable to comprehend how young people, already battling all kinds of crises in their lives, have managed to cope without a safe home to go to and a roof over their heads. Sadly, and this sickens me, many youth have been unable to cope with these hardships and have succumbed. And winters cold is only beginning. #CovenantHouseVancouver is the Advocate for Homeless Youth in Vancouver. Firstly, #CHV provides unconditional love and respect for young people aged 16-24. Covenant House Vancouver provides these youth compassion, support, and an opportunity for a fresh start. When they arrive at Covenant House Vancouver, young people have often experienced #trauma. They may be #scared, #hungry, and #exhausted. The First priority is to meet their basic needs by providing them with: * Medical attention * Nutritious food and hydration * A safe place to sleep There are 60 beds in the short-term Crisis Program. Along with safe, supported housing, young people receive clothing, and hygiene supplies. They can also receive employment and education supports, access to Registered Clinical Counsellors and Social Workers, and help in transitioning to independent living, when ready. I have supported Covenant House Vancouver for nearly 10 years, and this is my 7th Sleepout. I know the challenge society faces with Homelessness is daunting, and I know that Covenant House Vancouver does all it can do with every Young Person that they engage with. They are working tirelessly and using funds raised in a very effective and deliberate manner. I am chasing you, as part of my network; PLEASE DONATE: https://lnkd.in/gw3Egsf

⭐️This Giving Tuesday, Be the Difference Oakland Needs⭐️ Oakland’s housing crisis is pushing families of color out of their communities, leaving many without shelter. We’ve found the perfect opportunity to change that—a property ready to house families immediately at 2231 E 28th Street. But there’s an urgent challenge: we have less than 60 days to raise $500,000, or we’ll lose this opportunity. 💛How You Can Help: 1. Donate today at www.just-homes.org. Every dollar brings us closer to our goal. 2. Start a Giving Tuesday fundraiser with your family and friends to amplify the impact. 3. Share this post to spread the word. 🎯Why It Matters:
This isn’t just a property—it’s a safe haven for families to heal, rebuild, and thrive. The spacious rooms, private entrances, and beautiful backyard make it the ideal place to provide stability and dignity to those who need it most. Time is running out. Let’s show what community power can do. Together, we can turn the tide and ensure no family is left behind. 👉🏽 www.just-homes.org #GivingTuesday #JustHomes #HousingJustice #OaklandHousingCrisis #ActNow #DonateToday #SupportBIPOCFamilies

Addressing America's affordable housing crisis is a pressing challenge that affects millions of individuals and families across the nation. The escalating costs of housing, combined with stagnant wages and rising living expenses, have pushed many low- and moderate-income households into precarious financial situations. Families struggling to afford housing often face difficult choices, sacrificing essential aspects of life needed to survive, which can lead to long-term negative impacts on their well-being and that of their children. By prioritizing affordable housing, we can create a foundation for stability, allowing families to focus on opportunities for growth and development. To effectively tackle this crisis, a collaborative approach is necessary, involving government, non-profits, and private sectors. Thankfully our Hudson County Community has those within it advocating for affordable housing. We are honoring multiple advocates at our upcoming fundraiser cocktail party, “An Evening of Promise Gala: Bridging A Better Future Together!” Help us combat the ongoing shortage of affordable housing by attending our upcoming event and supporting its honorees! You can purchase your tickets via the following link: https://lnkd.in/ebufN3SY Remember, together WE can, so what are you waiting for?

We can't agree and we're too close to it now - so hopefully my LinkedIn connections can help. What should the new tagline of Church Homeless Charity be? Your support, their future. Pathways out of homelessness. Small grants, big impact on lives. Grants that change lives. Your compassion in action. Investing in human potential. Empowering lives, one grant at a time. Grants that open doors. A little help for a new start. Building hope with small grants. * Note that ‘Compassion in Action’ is an existing charity, so we need to be wary there. We provide small grants to homeless people through a network of registered support services. They help identify where an individual needs specific support and we can get the money to that person within days. The grants provide hope, dignity and a lifeline when it is needed most.

**Help Us Make a Difference: Support Homeless Relief** Homelessness affects millions of people every day, and every little bit of help can make a world of difference. Whether it's providing shelter, food, clothing, or simply offering kindness, your support can help change lives. Together, we can work toward a future where everyone has a safe place to call home. By donating, volunteering, or spreading awareness, you contribute to a cause that provides not only immediate relief but also long-term solutions for those in need. Let's come together to ensure that no one has to face the harsh realities of homelessness alone. Your generosity can help rebuild hope. **Join the effort. Make a difference.**

🌟Myth: Donating to Homelessness Charities Doesn’t Make a Difference 🌟Reality: Every contribution counts. Your support helps us provide vital identification documents that open doors to housing, employment, and a fresh start for those in need. Without these essential IDs, many individuals remain stuck in a cycle of homelessness, unable to access the services that can change their lives. In fact, just $12 gets a state ID in the hands of someone looking to end their homelessness! At Homeless ID Project, we see the impact of every donation firsthand. Each dollar goes toward helping someone take that critical first step toward stability and independence. Want to make a difference? Your donation can help us continue this life-changing work. Donate Today: HIDP.org and click ‘Donate’ or text hidp to 44321. Let’s work together to give everyone the opportunity for a fresh start. ❤️ #EndHomelessness #HomelessIDProject #EveryDonationCounts #SupportChange #MakeADifference

We evaluated our support to #SmallButVital charities in the homelessness sector to understand its impact on people and communities. Housing and homelessness charities are a long-standing and significant part of our funding portfolio, and broadly representative of the small charities we support – they are often in the eye of the storm and feel the bluntest effects of austerity. We looked at the impact of our funding, development support and influencing work on people, charities, communities and society. The emerging findings continue to demonstrate the importance of strong relationships, unrestricted funding and building a thriving and resilient population of smaller charities against a backdrop of sustained deterioration in the underlying operating environment.

It’s #GivingTuesday!💕 Today, I ask your support in helping One Happy Mama raise $5,000 to create an emergency housing fund for the young mothers in our community. At One Happy Mama, we believe that every mother deserves a safe and stable place to call home. Unfortunately, housing instability is a major challenge for many young mothers. According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, 1 in 4 households with children experience some form of housing insecurity. For these moms, a lack of stable housing makes it even harder to break the cycle of poverty, focus on their goals, and care for their children. With your help, we can ensure these mothers have access to the support they need during times of crisis. One Happy Mama is a community-driven organization, and it’s because of YOUR support that we can continue to make a lasting impact in the lives of the families we serve. Please consider donating today and be a part of this mission to help moms stay grounded and thrive. 💕 https://lnkd.in/gTQUKGBk #onehappymama #SupportMoms #CommunityCare #HousingForAll #momnonprofit #nonprofitsformoms
