What The Resource Exchange Does
Our mission is to assist people leaving homelessness to turn empty rental units into a home by providing basic furniture and household items. Our program optimizes the chance of success for those newly housed, and it affirms for each of them that there are people who care and believe in them.
At this time, we only work with clients referred by Health Care for the Homeless, which provides ongoing support services to the newly-housed.
Often apartments have no furniture or items necessary for cooking simple meals or cleaning. There are no sheets, towels, or a bed. And yet we encounter deep gratitude for the safety of a locked door and the stability of a ‘place of their own.’ The Resource Exchange brings new bedding, makes up the bed, and adds towels, mat, and shower curtains to the bath. We bring living room furniture and kitchen table and chairs along with pots, dishes, and utensils.
What You Can Do
There are a number of ways that you can support:
