A Welcome Home Starts with the Basics
After experiencing homelessness, the day someone gets the keys to their new home should feel hopeful. But for many people transitioning out of homelessness, it doesn’t.
It feels quiet. 🤍
It feels empty. 🕳️
It feels
overwhelming. 💔
An apartment without dishes, bedding, or cleaning supplies isn’t a fresh start. It’s a barrier.
That’s why we created the Housing Hero Project — to turn that moment into warmth, comfort, and home.
At the Housing Hero Project, we collaborate with housing providers, case managers, and community partners to support people on move-in day. We see it firsthand: someone entering a new home—perhaps for the first time in years—with nothing but a trash bag of belongings and a long road ahead.
🍽️ No plates.
🧻 No towels.
🍳 No way to cook a
meal.
🛏️ No bed to sleep in.
A safe apartment is the first step.
Stability is what turns it
into a home.
Become a Housing Hero
Together, we will create Housing Hero Kits that turn empty apartments into homes.
Each kit is thoughtfully packed to fully furnish a one-bedroom apartment.
Inside every kit:
-
Kitchenware to cook real meals
-
Bedding to sleep with dignity
-
Hygiene items for daily care
-
Cleaning supplies to maintain a safe and healthy home
Everything is new. Everything is ready. Everything is delivered with compassion and care.
How You Can Make an Impact
Without access to basic household items, people are up to 50% more likely to return to homelessness. ( National Alliance to End Homelessness)
You can help keep this from happening.
When someone has what they need to care for their home, their chances of long-term housing success rise dramatically.
Each kit represents a complete home setup and costs $400 to assemble and deliver.
Every contribution helps returns to homelessness and strengthens the entire housing ecosystem.

and everyday use.
