Homeless Solutions, Inc.’s Post

HSI is proud of the work we do and the people we’ve been able to help since 1983. Last year we were able to keep 517 people in different capacities safely housed – whether it be in our emergency shelter or an affordable housing unit – and we’re looking to do the same, if not more this year. We’re so grateful for supporters like YOU who have made this possible. That’s why we began our Hand Up Day of Giving last year to commemorate the many years of service and generosity to our organization.🙌🏽 Won’t you join us on Wednesday, May 8th by making a gift to ensure 517 more people are safely housed this year?

Giving a Hand Up with health! We’re grateful for Registered Dietitian Barbara Galvin, who has been volunteering her time by working with our guests to provide nutrition education, including tips and tricks on easy ways to eat healthy and how to easily find these foods. She’s also provided healthy plate posters which our kitchen volunteers and guests can use to gauge proper portions for their meals. Barbara specializes in diabetes education, which is so important for the population of our guests who are currently diabetic or pre-diabetic. They’re learning the right ways to monitor their diabetes and how to treat their high/low blood sugar episodes. Thank you, Barbara for sharing your time and knowledge with our guests!🙌🏽🥕🍎🌾 Are you in a profession where you can make an impact with your skills as a volunteer?

It’s Fair Housing Month and everyone deserves a FAIR chance at housing! The National Low Income Housing Coalition recently released their 2024 report finding that the lowest-income renters in the U.S. face a shortage of 7.3 million affordable and available rental homes. Areas like Morris County are especially feeling this crunch as the waitlists for housing continue to rise. HSI continues to work diligently to give a Hand Up to those putting the work in to get back on their feet, and to help our guests find the affordable housing they need to start their lives.🏡 But we wouldn’t be able to do it without you!

Oral arguments begin today in the Supreme Court Johnson v. Grants Pass case, which will determine whether a local government can arrest or fine people for sleeping outside, even if no adequate shelter is available. This is more than just a court case, it’s about basic human rights for all individuals.

While we celebrate this beautiful planet tomorrow for Earth Day, it’s important for us to note the ever-growing intersectionality between homelessness and climate change. Rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and resource shortages threaten the most vulnerable people in our country, both physically and mentally. Helping our planet can help our people. 🌍💚 But we still need YOUR help.

We continue recognizing our volunteers during Volunteer Appreciation Month with a great group of teens who have really embraced not only volunteerism but advocacy as well. Hope for the Homeless is a student-run organization that volunteers at local homeless shelters. They also fundraise to make donations to these shelters and educate about homelessness through their social media outlets, community events, etc. They volunteer with HSI about once a week playing games, making crafts, and entertaining the children at our shelter and in Transitional Housing while their parents are in workshops or classes. This team of energetic teens is just what we need for our shelter children - they're great role models and the kids love to see them! Thank you, Hope for the Homeless for providing joy to our littlest guests!💚 Interested in volunteering with us?
