Supporting Homelessness Week: ADC’s Commitment to Change This Homelessness Week 2024, we want to shine a light on an issue that impacts over 120,000 Australians every night. While many of us take for granted having a roof over our heads, countless individuals and families face the harsh reality of homelessness, with nearly a quarter being children. At ADC, we believe in using our resources and influence to drive meaningful change. That’s why we are proud to partner with Homes for Homes and committing a portion of our development project revenue to combatting homelessness and delivering homes to those in need. Together, we are working to transform lives and create a future where everyone has a place to call home. We encourage you to join us in supporting this vital cause. Let’s spare a thought for those struggling and take action to change these statistics. Every effort counts, and together, we can make a difference.

November is National Homeless Awareness Month, and at House of Refuge, we want to shed light on the realities of homelessness here in Arizona and share how we’re tackling this issue head-on. For many families, homelessness is the result of sudden, overwhelming circumstances—job loss, domestic violence, or a major health crisis. At House of Refuge, we understand that homelessness isn’t just about lacking shelter; it’s about the profound impact on families’ lives and futures. That’s why we provide more than a temporary home. We offer transitional housing with comprehensive wrap-around services to get to root causes of homelessness for each individual family- including employment support, financial education, counseling, and resources for children and teens. Our programs are designed to empower each family on their path to self-sufficiency and long-term stability. This month, we invite you to join us in raising awareness and supporting families who are working hard to overcome homelessness. Together, we can build a brighter, more hopeful future for every family in Arizona. https://lnkd.in/gDRvXJnM #fromhomelesstohopeful #nationalhomelessawarenessmonth

Homelessness is not a choice. Let’s confront the truth about the deep-rooted trauma experienced by those without homes. It’s a daily struggle filled with humiliation, exhaustion, and perilous conditions. From mothers to children, 47,520 people face this reality every night. It’s time to acknowledge their pain, extend compassion, and work together towards a meaningful solution that leaves no one behind. But, we can't do this work alone - we need your support. For as little as $10/month, you can make a profound impact on the lives on women and children. With your meaningful contribution, we can provide resources, support programs, and pathways out of homelessness for those in need. Together, we can bring hope, dignity, and a brighter future to moms and babies facing the harsh realities of homelessness.

Did you know that over 38,000 young people aged 15–24 years presented alone to a homelessness service in 2022–23? Of these young people, almost half experienced mental ill-health and over one third experienced domestic and family violence. The majority of these young people were in need of short- or long-term accommodation and most were turned away due to a lack of capacity. These statistics only scratch the surface of issues that young people experiencing homelessness face. Yesterday was Youth Homelessness Matters Day (YHMD), a national day that was conceived in 1990 to raise awareness and public discussion about child and youth homelessness. Over the years, YHMD has grown into a national celebration of young people’s resilience and an important day of advocacy for sustainable and innovative solutions to support the needs of children and young people at risk of or experiencing homelessness. Sir David Martin Foundation's vision is for all vulnerable young people to have safety, hope and opportunity.

United Way of Ventura County is meeting their community’s needs in a wide variety of ways, two of which are particularly relevant this November: National Homelessness Awareness Month: For more than four years, United Way of Ventura County’s Landlord Engagement Program has been helping those with federal housing choice vouchers navigate the housing market and secure housing, and earlier this year, they began homelessness prevention work. To date, they have helped 782 community members secure housing or stay housed. United Way of Ventura County also raises awareness about homelessness in their community and connects those experiencing homelessness to resources. https://lnkd.in/eDFXTgVJ Native American and Indigenous Peoples' Heritage Month: As Ventura County is home to more than 20,000 Indigenous people, United Way of Ventura County made sure their free tax preparation outreach and services were available in languages commonly spoken by Indigenous peoples in their community: Spanish, Mixteco, and Zapoteco.

“To make progress toward ending homelessness as we know it, we must close this revolving door and stop homelessness before it starts." ⭐ Did you know?

Today marks the first day of Homelessness Week 2024.    45% of homelessness for women and children is primarily caused by domestic and family violence. On average, homelessness services across Australia are turning away almost 300 people each day, 80% of whom are women and children.    Homelessness caused by domestic violence is preventable, and we all have the power to make a change.    This Homelessness Week, we’re asking you to join our movement and pledge to stop violence and prevent homelessness for women and children.    No woman should have to choose between escaping violence and having a roof over her head. By signing our pledge, you can help us build safer futures for all. We’re stronger together.     Sign the pledge here: https://lnkd.in/gCDruDTp

It's easy to discuss the issue of homelessness as something abstract, but when we consider that the people affected are individuals with stories and lives just like our own, it becomes deeply personal. Asking "What if it were me?" brings the issue closer to home, emphasizing that circumstances can change in an instant for any of us. This shift from seeing homelessness as an issue to realizing it's about people—friends, neighbors, ourselves—can ignite empathy and action. How would you want others to respond if you were the person in need? #WorldHomelessDay #StarGospelMission #EverybodyDeservesAHome #BrighterTogether #CharlestonSC #FaithInAction #EndHomelessness #TransformingHeartsAndLives #SGMCares #HousingForAll
