You matter deeply

When you don’t have a home, it can be hard to find what you need to move forward. Maybe 'No' is the most common word you hear in a given day. Perhaps you see people pretending you don’t exist, or that they’re too busy to lend a hand.

We are truly, truly sorry.

There are thousands of compassionate individuals
in your community who want to help share your burden

Everyone needs a team. If you could use one, ask a care provider you know about helping you sign up for Samaritan.

The number one question I'm asked, is " Jeff, how do I respond when asked for help on the street? Samaritan is an answer to that question.

now-housed Samaritan Member

This is the first time in seven years people have seen me for who I am, not what I look like or come from.

Chris C.
Samaritan Member

Thanks to samaritans for checking up on and feeding me… Don’t know how I would have ate or kept warm many nights without you.

Laura L.
now-housed Samaritan Member

Sometimes, you can feel really invisible and it can kind of feel al lot of times like there's no help out there. It was just nice to have people be like "Yea, we really want to help."
