Diversion Donations
Want to help end an individual’s homelessness?
Consider helping us fund Diversion services.
What is “Diversion”?
Diversion services identify and implement the least intensive intervention to help an individual or family achieve housing stability. Targeting individuals who have recently entered into homelessness, Diversion services utilize flexible funding to quickly connect people to immediate housing solutions. Sometimes all that is needed to end a person’s homelessness is one-time financial assistance to cover an apartment application fee or to help pay for transportation to stay with friends or family.
