End of Year Letter
I deeply appreciate your continued support of the BEDS Plus mission during this time of uncertainty and change. Our supporters are foundational to our ability to innovate and make investments that will improve the safety net in our community.
BEDS Plus has been at the front line of response during the pandemic as an important access point for housing, financial resources, and other critical supportive services for the homeless and those at imminent risk of homelessness. Although the seismic changes occurring with the sector have been difficult to navigate, your support gave us the flexibility to meet the demand of the pandemic response.
We are committed to serving the most vulnerable people in our community and working every day to strengthen the way we deliver our services so that we might move closer to ending homelessness in our community.
Last year, we provided unprecedented levels of service to people experiencing homelessness and imminent risk of homelessness, including:
- Reaching more than 2,800 people, a significant percent increase from the year before.
- Facilitating $1,000,000 in emergency rental assistance to keep vulnerable households in housing.
- Safely sheltering 391 people in area motels through street outreach.
- Case management for 97 households with histories of chronic homelessness in housing subsidized by BEDS Plus.
- Seeing 90 percent of our clients leave our programs with stable housing.
Together, we make a difference every day. Thank you for your partnership in this important work. We hope to continue to engage with you in the new year.
