A better world

If you’re feeling exhausted right now, know that you’re not alone. Something that keeps me grounded and hopeful is knowing that we can count on each other.

Every day, hundreds of people count on Health Care for the Homeless to get the care they need and deserve. Your gift helps cover a doctor’s visit, a dental filling, a therapy session — a step from crisis to stability.

I regularly read client feedback. And it’s a powerful reminder of why our work matters. Here’s what the adults and families we see are saying:

• “I love my team from Health Care for the Homeless. They make sure I am ok.”
• “[My doctor] listens to me. She just keeps it real. She gave me hope.”
• “[My psychiatrist] makes me feel like my voice matters.”
• “Ojalá ubieran más personas como ustedes. Yo creo que tuviéramos un mundo major.” I wish there were more people like you. I think we would have a better world.

Give today to fund what actually works to end homelessness: quality, comprehensive health care and safe, stable housing.

Like me, you are probably following the alarming changes in federal funding and federal policies around homelessness. Cuts to Medicaid. Cuts to food assistance. Threats to housing services. And targeted efforts to punish people in our community who are poor, sick and unable to afford rent.

Arresting people because of a national housing crisis does nothing to end homelessness.

Your gift will help us do our part in protecting the lives of people without homes. Giving today supports our efforts to:

• Meet basic needs like housing, food and health care
• Take care where it’s needed most – to encampments, emergency shelters and the streets
• Advocate with public officials to push back against harmful rhetoric and make sure public policies protect and meet the unique needs of people without homes

Over the years, we have asked donors, staff, clients and community partners, “What does Health Care for the Homeless mean to you?” The answer varies, but it is always rooted in the shared belief that all people deserve access to quality health care and housing.

Your donation today helps Health Care for the Homeless stand solidly where we’re most needed during the uncertain days ahead.

With gratitude,
