With your support Open Door activates motorcycle enthusiasts in the fight against homelessness. Join our #housingfirst mission. Gifts support Open Door Community's general charitable purpose and activities.
Your gifts help end homelessness in our community using the “Housing First” approach. According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, “Housing First is a homeless assistance approach that prioritizes providing permanent housing to people experiencing homelessness, thus ending their homelessness and serving as a platform from which they can pursue personal goals and improve their quality of life.”
Raise funds from friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers for #housingfirst! Every local $1 raised helps leverage $4 more dollars in federal and state housing assistance funds. Last year Open Door provided over 5,000 nights of emergency shelter, leveraging nearly $225k in recurring homelessness intervention funds.
