You may have heard District 4 will soon be home to 100 families who have been without homes. The hotel at 7525 E Hampden Ave will soon be converted into housing for these families with wrap around support. (Please refer to the attached flyer.)

 

A UHNC family has offered to be a donation drop off point for our neighborhood. They will then take the donations the last couple miles to Councilwoman Romero-Campbell's office for distribution. In addition we ask that any one who can make it attend the Community Information Meeting on Dec 16th at 10am as a show of support. (Please refer to the attached flyer.)

 

Kathy and Allen Meyer at 4545 E Harvard Ave have placed a donation box on the West side of their garage for donations. Please have donations dropped off
. Kathy and Allen will be making regular trips to deliver these donations to the official dropoff location.

 

Some of the many things to consider when thinking about these families:

o   Homelessness is a traumatic experience, and it can have lasting psychological effects, especially on children. Staying together as a family can provide a sense of security and reduce the trauma associated with homelessness.

o   When families are housed together, social services and support can be more efficiently delivered to the entire family unit, making it easier to coordinate resources and assistance.

o   Homeless families often face a lack of stability in their living arrangements. Providing them with a dedicated shelter where they can stay together offers a degree of stability and consistency, which is essential for children's educational, social, and emotional development.

o   Families experiencing homelessness can benefit from mutual support and camaraderie with other families facing similar challenges. This sense of community can be fostered in family shelters.
