“Over the years, I have always supported the United Way and other non-profits, with donations and volunteering. Now, I am most grateful that when I needed some help, it was there. I shall not forget it.”

Get Involved

Funding for services offered by the Homelessness Prevention Initiative is made possible through the generosity of the local faith community, foundations, agencies, businesses & individuals. Please join us in helping those at risk of becoming homeless regain strength and stability by making a tax deductible donation.

The Homelessness Prevention Initiative relies on a committed team of volunteers to help provide timely intake services, referrals and advocacy, and authorize rental assistance. HPI also welcomes clerical and event volunteers. To learn more about current opportunities to help prevent homelessness in our community, please visit our Volunteer page.
