Our largest program is helping families with their rent payments. In 2023, we helped 282 families, spending over $329,000 By helping a family pay part of their rent, our hope is that they are able to remain in their homes and maintain stable lives. In addition, we also helped 97 families with emergency shelter at a local motel spending almost $15,000. Volunteers visit families in their homes when rent assistance is requested, to hear their stories and better understand their situations.
The next day for rent assistance applications is
