Our belief in something powerful


Those of us in the Health Care for the Homeless community share a belief in something powerful: that everyone should have a place to call home.

Hope for that vision isn’t passive. It’s something that clients, staff and community supporters make possible together.

Turn that shared belief into action. Give an end-of-year donation to ensure that Health Care for the Homeless remains a source of hope, care and housing for our community.

In a recent survey, Marylanders getting care with us shared why this work matters:

  • “I am optimistic and hopeful for my future and well-being for the first time in a long time.”
  • “[My clinician] was understanding. Very kind. I didn’t feel embarrassed, and I felt safe
    talking about my needs.”
  • “My doctor always takes the extra step…I always tell people the great treatment I received.”

We care for each other—in every sense of the word. And that gives our community strength. Your generosity means that Health Care for the Homeless can continue to:

  • advocate on city, state and federal levels for laws that protect our neighbors without homes
  • ensure neighbors have somewhere to turn for health care, regardless of insurance or the ability to pay; can start therapy or begin recovery from trauma or substance use; or can access expert advice and guidance to find and secure housing.

With your help this year, more than 11,000 adults and families without safe and stable housing will have a reliable partner in addressing their most pressing concerns. You are an important part of the Health Care for the Homeless community. Will you continue to stand with us—and for a future without homelessness?
