It takes a village!

We are so excited to share that our amazing partners at Andrew Marquis at CrossCountry Mortgage raised over $40,000 again this year to help our most vulnerable neighbors move out of crowded shelters and unsafe outdoor spaces into safe dignified housing! We are deeply grateful  for the impact they’ve had on the lives of people who struggled without stable, warm homes of their own despite this ongoing public health emergency.

With the generous help of the The Andrew Marquis Team at CrossCountry Mortgage our Housing Start-up Fund assisted over 550 people in 2021 move out of homelessness into permanent dignified housing and get started on their journeys to living hopeful, healthy futures in our community – our most successful year ever. With the Andrew Marquis Team as our partner, we were able to fill every request for assistance from the housing program staff to provide what each person needed to move quickly and safely into housing (a security deposit, first/last, utility arrearage, copy of a birth certificate to sign a lease, moving costs from a furniture bank to someone’s new apt., and/or a new bed and other essential household items that must be new).

And the best news is, over 90% will remain housed and never return to homelessness – transforming their lives and making our community a better place for all of us.
