Housing America Donates Household Supplies to ALIVE! House Families

6/23/2015

 
Washington, D.C. (June 23, 2015) - Housing America, NAHRO’s campaign that raises awareness about affordable housing, donated household and cleaning products to four families in ALIVE (ALexandrians InVolved Ecumenically) transitional house shelter in Alexandria, Va. ALIVE! House provides 6-12 months of shelter, support deserving income-eligible families and helps women and families in emergency situations.
“Toiletries and cleaning supplies are provided for all the residents in order for them to complete chores as required, as well as get back on their feet if they have just arrived or save more money towards their permanent housing goal when they are working,” says ALIVE! House Director Amanda Issac. “Items like this cannot be bought with state financial benefits received and can really impact their financial goals. By supplying these items for our residents, it helps them get one step closer to permanent housing and independence!”

Since 1972, ALIVE! House has operated a shelter and provided services to residents such has living skills, parenting classes, educational and career development and finding housing once leaving the shelter. Families save money by avoiding the supply costs through donations such as those provided by Housing America.

“This is a great example of what others could be doing locally to build partnerships and amplify the goals and objectives of the campaign,” says Housing America Chair Clif Martin.
