Current Homeless Data Report

The Board heard from Andy Carey about the recently published Homeless Data Report by the National Alliance to End Homelessness. The State of Homelessness: 2023 Edition report uses data from 2022.

The report shows that more than 40 people who are experiencing homelessness are on the streets daily. However, it was determined that there appear to be more shelter beds than needed.

Project Haven News

This past weekend, the Carey family and friends prepared and served the first REACH-sponsored dinner at one of our shelter locations. These weekend dinner services supplement the weekday meal services that our shelter provides. The food was delicious!

We are always accepting donations for our six shelter sites. You can look here for the most up-to-date list of our shelters' needs.

Edgerton Meadows Updates

Thanks to a generous grant from the August Family Foundation, we moved forward significantly with construction funding. We met with foundation board members Bob and Nate August at the property. They were excited about the project and happy to help us move forward with funding.

Advocacy Notes

We will continue our conversation on housing justice and the current housing crisis at our next Advocacy Team meeting.
