A Season of Giving and Thanks

2025 IMPACT STORIES

Mr. Weems was unhoused for 10 years. He was able to receive low barrier services from our partners at Hope Faith, take a vulnerability assessment, and when he reached the top of the housing list, he worked along side SAVE, Inc. staff to enter stable housing. We will continue to work with him to address his housing barriers. He will grow to be as housing self sufficient as possible and open the door for the next person to be served. The community’s investment into Permanent Supportive Housing, a threatened federal program, is the most cost effective way to address homelessness. SAVE, Inc. makes your tax dollars go the furthest by helping those who get housed stay housed. Your donation has a return on investment of over 50x.

Housing stability isn’t just about paying rent and bills. Its also about making a home. Many of our residents choose to stay close to where their services are available by moving into ALHAVEN. With subsidies for low income residents, ALHAVEN helps them to focus on their health and next steps towards housing independence. Along the way, SAVE, Inc. becomes home because they become neighbors who care for each other through good and hard times.

Maryah has participated in 3 SAVE, Inc. programs because we meet people where they are at and help them towards housing self sufficiency. At our low barrier shelter for young adults they got their basic needs met and stepped up into independent living programs. Our case manager works with her on a regular basis to ensure she and her children continue to thrive and take the next available steps towards independence in housing.
