Why Donate?

Homelessness is one of our nation’s most misunderstood and vexing social problems – 671, 869 people experience homelessness on any given night and over 1.6 million individuals use shelter throughout the year.

A gift to the Alliance, regardless of the size, demonstrates your interest in being a part of ending, not just managing, the crisis of homelessness in our country.
