Donate Now

Your donation, no matter how small or how large, helps those who need permanent supportive housing.

100% of your donations are spent on:

  • Essentials for new residents- We furnish everything from bedding to kitchen items to cleaning supplies. The average cost for each apartment is $750.00.

  • Apartment building improvements- We’ve helped to build outdoor seating for residents to relax. We’ve also helped with small donations for holiday parties.

  • Advocacy and awareness- We help educate communities about the need for permanent support housing, build support for new housing opportunities, and partner with local stakeholders to expand access to safe, affordable homes.

    Let us know your ideas for how we can help financially support permanent supportive housing!

Or you can mail a check to the “Housing Task Force” and mail it to the Task Force at PO Box 904, Wheeling, IL 60090.
