Please partner with us in this worthy cause to continue to
keep individuals and families off of the streets of San Diego and
into a warm, loving, and supportive environment where they
can began to rebuild their lives.
We look forward to seeing you there!
As of April 10, 2008 The Trinity House has assisted
189 adults and 128 children avoid homelessness. Many of these families
and individuals are very
low-income and eligible to receive a rent subsidy from The Trinity House to
assist them in avoiding homelessness. Of those 40% were able to avert
homelessness all together by coming to The Trinity House.
Nearly 9,000
individuals in the
San Diego
Region are homeless and don’t have place to call home.
Of those, almost half are homeless families with children.
Due to the lack of
affordable housing, many have *no choice* but to "sleep out" every
night. Sleeping out for one night is a rude awakening to the
realities and un-pleasantries of homelessness.
The
Trinity House invites you to sleep outside with us! The goal
of this 24 hour event is to raise awareness regarding homelessness
and affordable housing, celebrate our community and raise funding to
house over 40 homeless families or individuals in one of the four
Trinity House transitional homes.
