Who We Help
This year we will care for 11,000 people.
Who are they? They are us.
We are children, youth, families and adults... But we live in shelters; transitional housing; on other people’s couches; and on the streets—under bridges, on benches and in tents, abandoned buildings and cars.
Some of us don’t know where we will sleep tonight, and most of us don’t know when or where we will eat our next meal.
We are among the millions of people across our country who, because of deeply embedded racism in our society, structures and ourselves, have been denied opportunities for health, happiness and safety.

A resident of Sojourner Place at Oliver, Kaelah Jordan grew up "a huge nerd" with a deep curiosity for the world around her. She dreams of creating a children's sanctuary to help kids of color who are being let down by the system. "Can you imagine the world that we can bring to fruition?"
