Financial Need

“Housing” – LITERALLY! • Our current housing project is our biggest need. (in the process of raising the funding). It will be our highest cost center due to cost of rent and utilities and program staff fees.  Looking for donated property/house or low rent price.  

At the rate we are going with the partnerships we have accumulated our only real cost would be for housing and staffing our program director and resident manager. Proposed cost estimating $87,000 for the first year.

We are looking to have 3 bedrooms that could easily house 4 women. This type of housing is extremely temporary and would fit within our 90-120 day emergency housing limit/plan for our clients as needed. We cannot delay intake as these women have nowhere else to go.

​
