Clothing donations support a myriad of causes. For those in the Sandia Mountain Valley Ranch, if you would like to have your donations to be tax deductible, @Jake_Mullery can bring an “In Kind” donation form to you so that you’re able to claim donation on your taxes.

“As the high level of #homelessness persists, motels are being used more than ever before.” These vouchers are providing #relief and a sense of #normalcy to families that have been displaced.

@ahmorin @awayhomeamerica We agree! It will take #teamwork in communities across the nation and globe to address these issues. So thankful for you and those that are working diligently to #endyouthhomelessness

@HomeStabilityNY @SenatorBiaggi @NYGovCuomo Permanent solutions that provide stability for families that need a hand up is one of the ways we can work #together to solve housing affordability issues. Thank you @HomeStabilityNY!

#Affordable #housing is a hardship facing those in need. Without a home how does one store medicine, prepare #healthy meals, sleep and shower? Vouchers bridge the #affordability gap in rent. Vouchers work in #helping the #homeless.

@naehomelessness Tailored solutions are great when addressing homelessness. The system wide approach may look good on paper, but taking the time to critically assess the situation of one, and provide a permanent solution, is 100% better than temporary solutions that recycle those in need.

#Homelessness in Pasadena CA increased 28% over 2 years. The city is taking steps to ensure those in need are cared for by investing in #SocialServices. Much of the grant is being dedicated to #vouchers, which will #house families and keep them #united.

San Antonio, TX, expects to see a #population boom in the near future, including an increase in the number of homeless. “Instead of simply walking by the #homeless, San Antonians should offer eye contact or a #listening ear”

There is #strength in #community. The #PointInTimeCount conducted in Coos County, OR, provided #volunteers with more than data regarding the #homeless. They developed a level of #understanding for those struggling on the streets.

@Ed_Stafford @Channel4 What is one bit of wisdom worth sharing from this experience? Were there common themes in the conversations that you had with the homeless? (Our experience in the US is that they're not being listened to)

The "invisible" deserve to be seen and heard, thank you for doing this!

Did you know that most #Americans live paycheck to #paycheck? A survey conducted by @CareerBuilder determined that 78% of full-time workers live paycheck to paycheck and 71% report being in debt. Through #outreach and #support DTPH will continue to aid those in need

[Drive the Point Home @DTPH_ORG]

The #government #shutdown underscored extreme housing insecurity for #low-income, disabled, and elderly Americans that rely on housing assistance. Between 70,000 and 80,000 #Americans that fall into this group could have faced #eviction.

#MondayMotivation

[Drive the Point Home @DTPH_ORG]

The #shutdown has lifted and we should stress the importance of foundational #nonprofits that provide resources to those living #paycheck to paycheck. We thank these #organizations that are discovering solutions while addressing the #financial woes burdening so our #citizens.

As the #GovShutdown nears its 4th week of inaction, #nonprofits are rising to meet the needs of their #community. #FoodBanks have been providing assistance to #furloughed #government #employees. Thank you to the #senators donating paychecks to these #organizations

Vacant lots have littered #NewYorkCity for decades now. With the #city being home to over 60,000 #homeless, developing these properties into #affordablehousing or #communitygardens could have a huge impact on populations that are in need.

Anthony & Moon still need to secure permanent housing. Moon has spent 6 months in a kennel where he is stressed & waiting to go home. We will not give up on them & need everyone's support! Please share their story and keep the #hope alive https://t.co/hJtnjjP5yV

Share Homestead @ShareVanWA takes a #personal approach to improving the lives of their clients. They have given #families residing in the shelter a sense of #stability by doing away with their 90 day maximum stay cap while maintaining “common sense expectations.”

553,742 #Americans sleep on the street every night. 50 million #households can’t afford a basic monthly budget. Over one third of our country lives in constant fear of the straw that is bound to break the camel’s back. Their #struggle is visible, but so often overlooked
