You helped 217 people avoid homelessness in 2019 – so far!

And it is not necessarily those who have “more” doing the giving. People living on fixed or limited incomes, some facing challenges of their own, are often the people most consistently giving to those who have “less,” perhaps because they understand how easy it is to go from having a little and being okay to having nothing.

So thank you to all our donors and volunteers. See a complete list of our 2019 supporters as of November 30 ^th below.

What a Difference a Year can Make:

Despite Overwhelming Obstacles Your Support

Made This Family a Success Story

Our Client, Ms. “C,” just met with her case manager to say that for the first time she can remember she feels happy and is thankful to Family PASS for making her life worth living. When she was referred to Family PASS by the County’s Coordinated Services agency in November 2018, she was facing eviction, massive student debts, she couldn’t put her children in after school care because she was past due on those fees so she could only work limited hours, and she had just escaped an abusive relationship. She suffered from deep depression. Fast forward to this week: Ms. C has paid off her student loans, is meeting her rental obligations, got a raise at her job and will get another shortly on her tenth anniversary at work. She is seeing a clinic psychiatrist to treat her depression and her children are all doing well in school. We are in awe of Ms. C for sticking it out, working on her problems, and having the courage to push forward to get better and secure her future for the sake of her four sons and herself.

Thank you again.

With the cold weather and holidays at our doorstep, we’ve seen an increase in the number of families who are facing homelessness. The requests to Family PASS are running at one per day, and sometimes two and we are doing our best to help them avoid eviction.  I can’t think of anything worse than a child losing his/her home and spending the holidays in a shelter.

Please consider a year-end donation or a monthly automatic contribution of $5, $10, $25 or whatever you can so we can work together to keep working families in their homes.
