Across Washington, DC, families are facing greater challenges than ever before. Funding cuts to essential housing programs like permanent supportive housing,  and resources like SNAP and Medicaid are putting stability and security out of reach for many low-income families. 

At Housing Up, we’re building thriving communities by developing affordable housing and providing support services for 900 low-income families. We provide everything from job training and mental health resources to financial counseling and youth enrichment. Your past support has kept us serving families for more than 30 years and now, we need your support more than ever. 

This year, we are launching the Housing Up Family Stability Fund to make sure families have the critical resources they need to thrive in spite of the current uncertainty. Your donation will support:

• $250: Provide groceries and essentials for families facing food insecurity while SNAP benefits hang in the balance.
• $500: Cover healthcare for a family as costs skyrocket across the country, putting kids, parents and grandparents at great risk.
• $1,000: Support a month of youth and adult resident services programming (job training, youth enrichment, education, etc.) at one of our affordable housing communities, building stability, confidence, and connection.
• $2,500: Help families weather the uncertainty around housing and rising utility costs by providing emergency rental and utility assistance. 
• $5,000: Empower families to build lasting stability by supporting housing, counseling, job training, and community programs that create a strong foundation for families.

Families in our community are counting on us. Check out the Diatta family’s story below to see the transformative power of affordable housing, and give before December 31 to ensure every DC family has a safe, stable home this winter and beyond. Your gift to the Family Stability Fund provides emergency relief that keeps families safely housed, connected, and hopeful for the future.
