We are grateful for the Executive Order rescindment! Federal Funding is a critical part of the PLACE’s ability to deliver services to youth experiencing homelessness in our community. Thank you for supporting us so we can continue our vital services.

All donations to this appeal will be part of our general funds so that we can allocate these funds to the programs impacted by this pause. We are working through private foundations, individuals, and state grants to ensure youth in our community do not feel the impact.
