Homeless/Eviction Prevention Fund

Need

Many individuals and families experiencing homelessness have significant barriers to accessing and maintaining stable housing. These barriers may include mental health issues, physical disabilities, substance use disorders, lack of income, expenses related to health care and/or debt, housekeeping/hoarding issues, and/or a history of violating the terms of rental agreements. One of our most pressing needs is to provide on-going support to residents transitioning from homelessness to housing.

Long term impact

The Fund has provided the assistance people needing to secure housing or avoid eviction. They were able to remain in safe, secure housing because their utilities and rent were paid when they fell behind. They received help in their housekeeping to make their home habitable. They received beds, stoves, refrigerators, and other household items so that they could live with dignity. And they were able to stay in a hotel while they were going through the voucher process instead of staying homeless.

About the Organization

EDEN's mission is to provide housing solutions to people facing the challenges of housing insecurities and homelessness. We recognize that housing is a basic right of all people and is the first step in helping them transform their lives. We believe housing serves as a foundation to build stable lives, advance independence, and fulfill aspirations. We envision that, through our efforts, homelessness will be brief and rare; and every person will have a safe, secure place to call home.
