Why Donate?

Homelessness is one of our nation’s most misunderstood and vexing social problems – 671, 869 people experience homelessness on any given night and over 1.6 million individuals use shelter throughout the year.

Homelessness does not discriminate. Families with children, single adults, teenagers, and elderly individuals of all races struggle with the devastating effects of homelessness. It exists across the country, in small rural towns, suburban neighborhoods, and large metropolises.

The goal of ending homelessness may seem bold, but it is achievable.

A gift to the Alliance, regardless of the size, demonstrates your interest in being a part of ending, not just managing, the crisis of homelessness in our country.
