Sponsor a move-in-kit
Help a local person succeed in his or her permanent home
 |
Are you or your organization interested in sponsoring a move-in-kit that will help a local homeless person succeed in his or her permanent home? Help the Kansas City 100,000 Homes Campaign provide the essential items participants need to achieve a life of self-sufficiency.
The 100,000 Homes Campaign is a national effort to identify and permanently house people who are at a critical risk for mortality on the streets. The local campaign’s goal is to house 100 of Kansas City’s most vulnerable individuals and families by June 2013. More»
Volunteers survey Kansas City’s homeless
Local 100,000 Homes Campaign will find housing for 100 of the most vulnerable
 |
| Keith, a Kansas City 100,000 Homes Campaign volunteer asks a homeless woman some survey questions in the activity center at Hope Faith Ministries. |
Teams of volunteers braved frigid temperatures in Kansas City on Jan. 31 — as part of the local 100,000 Homes Campaign’s Registry Event — to identify, by name, the most vulnerable homeless individuals and families in the area. Local organizers hope the Registry Event will help compile more thorough data than what is currently available and help find homes for 100 of the most vulnerable people identified.
The event was held in conjunction with the Kansas City Continuum of Care (Kansas City, Blue Springs, Independence and Jackson County, Mo.) biannual point-in-time count. The biannual count is required by the U.S. Housing and Urban Development office (HUD) to support strategic planning and the reduction of the homeless population across the nation. More»
