The goal of the campaign is to raise $200,000 to support the implementation of our new rapid rehousing program entitled Hotel to Home. This program aims to select 25 families currently experiencing homelessness and transition them to housing stability. Additionally, the program will provide customized wraparound services for up to 12 months, ensuring the families have the necessary support to thrive. The rapid rehousing program led by Melanated Pearl, Inc. is an innovative and compassionate approach to tackling homelessness in our community. By providing families with not only secure housing but also the essential services and support they need, the program lays a foundation for their long-term success and stability. The $200,000 fundraising goal will directly support the operational costs of the rapid rehousing program, including securing housing units, furnishing them, covering essential expenses such as rent and utilities, and wrap-around services . By assisting these families in securing a stable place to call home, we can break the cycle of homelessness and help them build a brighter future. The OysterShell CCCII Cohort 2 is encouraging community members, businesses, and philanthropic organizations to come together and support this vital cause by making a donation to the campaign. Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of these families and create lasting change in our community. Donations can be made via the fundraising platform, Link: https://www.flipcause.com/secure/cause_pdetails/MTg1Mzk4: or via the QR code. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make an impact and bring us closer to our fundraising goal. In addition to financial contributions, Melanated PEARL Inc is also seeking volunteers and partnership opportunities to help ensure the success of the rapid rehousing program. If you or your organization is interested in getting involved, please reach out via email admin@melanatedpearl.org for further details. By supporting Melanated Pearl, Inc.'s rapid rehousing program, we not only uplift the families experiencing homelessness but also foster a stronger, more compassionate community.
