<Become a donor for the sake of our at-risk homeless>
Poor physical health, aging, poor nutrition and hygiene; unavailability of low-cost housing or insufficient income to pay for housing, to name a few, increases risk factors for those who live on the streets, in cars, in tent cities, under bridges or off-the-grid.
Consider this statement from the National Alliance to End Homelessness. They asserted,
“…many people are unsheltered, living on the streets, in abandoned buildings, or in other locations not suitable for human habitation. Being unsheltered is largely a challenge for individual adults but some families with children are also in these living situations.” (2019)
Although your giving may not be the overall solution for ending homelessness or removing the needy from our neighborhoods or fixing their problems, these basic essentials could be a means to lessen poor health, and hygiene (See the Gift Giving list below).
Every day, thousands of homeless or disadvantaged people in communities across our cities and nation find themselves without a place to call home (See “Our Stories’ page“). However, your generous giving can make a HUGE difference! (See “Terms and Condition’s page).
The LEMM uses research and data to find solutions to end homelessness. In addition, our team participates in discussions with the Department of Social Services (DSS) Homeless Service Partnership (HSP) group. In our meetings—which include other nonprofit service providers from Prince George’s County—we brain storm to find ways to solve the issues of homelessness. We also work with county activists, Continuum Care advocates, and community-based public entities such as our local libraries. Together we adopt innovative approaches to meet the needs of the homeless. Our ultimate goal is to prevent and or end homelessness via affordable housing. In the meantime, when you give to support our work, this is one way that you can demonstrate your commitment to help us make change happen in the lives of the homeless.

This mid-afternoon, we met Zach, a student of George Washington University, an advocate, and an enthusiast for the homeless in this particular tent city (Click on video button). In his own words, he expressed his desire that the homeless would be able to move into affordable housing, and be able to go to health care facilities that will treat their medical issues or other related problems (June 11, 2019),
