Corporations, foundations or individuals who donate or raise more than $25,000 become official sponsors and will be recognized on all marketing materials.
Foundations and donor-advised funds often make larger gifts between $1,000 and $100,000 knowing that every $1,000 raised can prevent a family from becoming homeless.
the be homeful project
Every year families with children utilize emergency shelters in Connecticut. Given the high cost of housing across the state, these families face especially high obstacles. While shelters exist as a last resort for families like these, homeless providers agree that there is a dire, unmet need for homelessness prevention funding for case managers to use when assisting families at the front door of shelter. This will offer a critical intervention, as children who experience homelessness are shown to be more likely to experience it again later in life.
Through advocacy, education, and fundraising, the be homeful project, is a campaign of the Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness to end family homelessness before it begins. This funding is crucial to the difference between whether a family enters the shelter system or is able to remain housed through diversion. If the family has entered our homeless response system, funds can be used to rapidly exit the family.
