WE DID IT!
With the overwhelming support of the entire community, One Day To Prevent Homelessness has raised $400,000 to prevent homelessness in Sacramento. This fundraising feat will be matched 4 to 1 by the federal government, delivering a total of $2 million into the innovative and proven Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP). The Foundation wishes to thank every donor who has made a contribution, from the one woman who was facing homelessness herself yet found compassion to give $50, to the many church congregations across the Sacramento region who collectively raised $142,000, to our media partners—KCRA, KFBK, and Sacramento News and Review—who highlighted compelling stories about the new face of homelessness.

Coming together as a community, the program has already assisted and housed 508 individuals and families and can now prevent homelessness and rapidly re-house up to 2000 individuals and families in the coming year. This incredible program is a testament to the ability of our community to recognize a problem and take real steps towards a solution. Faith, business, elected and community leaders all came together to create a seamless and thoughtful program that effectively meets the needs of those most affected by the economic crisis. The Sacramento region has a truly generous spirit representing the best of what people can accomplish together when working to create an even better place to live.
