Support people in finding safe and affordable housing by funding shelter and residential care programs. These can include homeless refuges, housing services, senior living, social housing, supported housing and temporary accommodation.

Shelter and residential care organizations provide a vital service to people who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of becoming homeless. These organizations offer a safe place to stay, food, and other basic necessities. They also provide support and services that help people get back on their feet and transition into stable housing.

Unfortunately, funding for these organizations is often inadequate, which can jeopardize the quality of care they are able to provide. That's why donations from individuals and businesses are so important. They help make up the difference and ensure that shelter and residential care organizations can continue to provide high-quality care and services to those who need them.

Homeless Refugees

Refugees are some of the most vulnerable people in the world. They have often fled their homes due to conflict or persecution and often arrive in new countries with nothing. This can make it very difficult for them to get by, and they can often sleep rough on the streets. This can be extremely harmful to their health and wellbeing, and they can often face discrimination and violence. By donating money to organizations that support homeless refugees, you can help to provide them with the basic necessities they need to survive and start rebuilding their lives.

Housing services

Housing services can help to provide attendant care for people with disabilities. This care can be costly, and many people would not be able to afford it without donations. Housing services also provide rent and mortgage assistance, which can be vital for people struggling to make ends meet. They also provide utility expense assistance and fund measures to make people's homes more accessible.

Senior living

Donating to senior living services means supporting nursing homes and retirement housing, which provide a safe and secure environment for seniors. Many seniors risk becoming homeless or being taken advantage of without these facilities. Senior assisted living facilities also provide crucial support for seniors who are living alone. These facilities can help seniors with grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning. They can also provide companionship and support, essential for seniors who may be isolated or lonely.

Social housing

Social housing is important because it provides safe and affordable homes for people who are in need. It is a vital part of the social safety net and helps ensure everyone has a place to live. Generous donations to social housing groups help fund these vital homes' construction and maintenance.

Supported housing

Many people in our society are vulnerable and in need of support. Domestic and family violence refuges provide a safe place for people to escape violence and abuse. Group homes offer support for people with disabilities who may not be able to live independently. Housing for the homeless provides a roof over people's heads and a place to rebuild their lives. Orphanages care for children who have been orphaned or abandoned. Transitional housing helps homeless people find a place to live while they get back on their feet. All of these services are vitally important, and donations from the community help to keep them running.

Temporary accommodation

Temporary accommodation helps to address the issue of homelessness. Organizations that provide temporary accommodation can often provide support and assistance to people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. This can help break the cycle of homelessness and give people the opportunity to get their lives back on track. Temporary housing can also help to provide a safety net for people struggling to make ends meet. This can help to prevent people from ending up on the streets and help them to get back on their feet.
