HOMELESSNESS
PREVENTION

582,462 Americans experience homelessness every year.

Cost of living increases and inflation are pushing many families over the brink. In 2023 alone, 653,000 Americans experienced homeless. But there’s good news lining these dark clouds – when communities invest in homelessness PREVENTION programs they see a major decrease in homelessness.

In cities across the United States, St. Vincent de Paul chapters bring help and hope to the unhoused in our communities through rental and utility assistance, food pantries, charitable pharmacies, day centers, transitional housing for disabled and veteran persons, and more.

More and more single-parent families stand on the brink of homelessness. One car wreck, hospital stay, or layoff can dislodge a family from a home and put them out on the streets.

SVdP provides support and stability, with the goal of permanent housing.

Just $2,000 in emergency assistance will keep a family in their home. Will you help?
