Boone County Homeless Prevention Board - Crawford Hall
|
||||||||||||||||
Description: Crawford Hall provides emergency shelter and transition for those that are homeless as well as homeless prevention services. They work closely with landlords and housing entities to assist people in staying in their homes if at all possible. They provide financial assessment, financial coaching and support through rental assistance and circles of support to assist in redeveloping relationships and trust that leads to retaining and or obtaining needed housing. How to Help: Volunteers are the backbone of Crawford Hall’s efforts, and provide support in many ways – from remodeling work in the building to expand their existing space to becoming part of the “family team” for homeless families through building relationships and friendships with the goal that these team members will continue their support even after the family gets on their feet. Additional volunteer needs include children’s programs, nutrition, physical fitness/ healthy lifestyles, and gardening. Donations are always welcome and needed. Crawford Hall operates a furniture and household goods bank for families in need and are also always in need of perishable food such as milk, eggs, and meat.
