HOW celebrated its annual Day of Giving on Wednesday, August 25th to commemorate the organization's founding 38 years ago. The day featured a live showing of Rx Housing: Lived Experiences which gave viewers the opportunity to hear from clients as they shared their stories and the ways in which stable housing affects a person's health and wellbeing.
This year's topic:
Rx Housing - Lived Experiences
HOW achieved its $10,000 goal, raising $13,800. As a result the agency qualified for a $10,000 matching gift! Thank you to all those who helped HOW reach its goal.
Donate.
If HOW raises $10,000 through its Day of Giving the agency will receive a $10,000 matching gift! HOW only receives these funds if we make our goal so donate now!
HOW utilizes the Housing First model which prioritizes providing housing to people experiencing homelessness before addressing other existing barriers to their wellbeing. We know that healing begins at home.
