Giving to Anawim Housing ensures your financial gift will make the greatest impact - supporting our mission. 100% of your gift given to Anawim directly supports the individuals and families that call Anawim Housing home by keeping rents affordable, our housing units well maintained, and retaining a compassionate and experienced staff.
Annual Campaign
In 2024, we were able to provide permanent supportive housing to over 445 individuals in 240 units along with critical resources and supportive services. These efforts are vital in a community where the homeless response system is operating at full capacity, with 715 individuals experiencing homelessness and 147 living unsheltered, as reported in Homeward’s January 2024 Point-In-Time Count.
