Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week

National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week is observed the week before Thanksgiving as a reminder that these challenges don’t stop for the holidays. Over 43 million Americans are currently living below the poverty line. An alarming 580,000 are without a home on any given night.

Last year, Solid Ground provided housing stability and supportive services to over 150 families. This year we are on track to serve even more. Please consider the various ways in which you can partner with Solid Ground to help families emerge out of homelessness and on to a strong foundation.

Through safe, affordable housing and innovative supportive programming, Solid Ground helps families break the cycle of homelessness and poverty for the next generation.

At the heart of Solid Ground is the belief that housing stability is fundamental to the healthy development of children and to a family’s ability to be contributing members of the community.

Our mission is to prevent and end homelessness for families with children in the communities we serve through housing, resources, and opportunity.
