Trinity House 2nd Anniversary Recognition Gala

REALITY: There are approximately 9,600 homeless in the San Diego Region.

REALITY: There are only approximately 4,500 shelter beds available in the San Diego Region (Emergency Shelters, Transitional Housing, and Permanent Supportive Housing).

REALITY: Over 4,000 individuals and families are left seeking shelter in places such as doorways, alleys, under bridges, and on the streets.

REALITY: Nearly 40% of the homeless are families with children.

EVERY BIT HELPS: The Trinity House has been successful in assisting over 175 families and individuals, and over 90 children avoid homelessness over the last 24 months.

Many of these families and individuals were able to avoid homelessness all together by coming to The Trinity House.

However, WE CAN NOT DO IT ALONE.

YOUR SUPPORT CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE.
