✨ Ending homelessness one key at a time! 🏡

🏠 We assisted more than 1,600 households with support services and/or rent assistance to get and keep people housed, just last year! More now than ever, this work has to be done—and we need the support of our community to make it happen. 💜

🤝 We believe no one should have to spend the night in a car, park, or by a freeway overpass. We're here for those experiencing #homelessness, believing wholeheartedly in #HousingFirst to #EndHomelessness. 🌟
