WHO ARE WE REACHING?
It Starts With the Will to Make a Difference
SURVIVORS
Survivors of domestic violence often must flee their homes to escape life-threatening violence from an abuser. Securing safe, affordable housing is a crucial step on the pathway to a survivor’s long-term security and often means the difference between being able to leave and having no choice but to stay.

TAKING CARE OF OUR VETERANS
The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently released its’ Annual Homeless Assessment Report to Congress reporting on homelessness data for the year 2020. The report states that on a single night in January 2020, there were 37,252 veterans experiencing homelessness in the U.S. These 37,252 homeless veterans represent a one percent increase over 2019 numbers, as well as eight percent of the total number of homeless in the U.S.

SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER
Substance abuse is among one of the major public health concerns of the 21st century. It is increasingly clear that given the multitude of stressors related to balancing work, family, and other responsibilities, more and more parents are coping in a variety of unhealthy ways. Given the social acceptability of drinking, and prescription pills, it's become a fairly common response to the challenges of raising a family. Although historically thought of as an inner-city problem, it's now a known fact that addiction does not discriminate in terms of socioeconomic status, geographic area, gender, or creed.
Almost EVERY ONE OF US know or love someone struggling with some form of addiction.
Many still struggle in secret because our society and its institutions have not done enough to normalize RECOVERY as the SELF-CARE that it truly is.
KIDS AGING OUT OF FOSTER CARE
What does it mean to "Age Out" of Foster Care?
​
Approximately 24,000 American teenagers in foster care turn 18 years old each year. At this age, they are expected to move out and start their lives on their own. Many still in high school, these teens find themselves in need of jobs, a place to live, and a means of transportation to survive.

GOLDEN GIRLS
At Sanctuary First Foundation we value our senior citizens. Their life experiences are a pathway for educating our younger generations on history, social acumen, professionalism, as well as, general life skills. Many of our golden girls are experiencing housing insecurity due the loss of a spouse, resulting in reduced income, making it extremely difficult to continue their previous lifestyle and housing situation.
WE BELIEVE IN RECOVERY OUT LOUD!!!
