The West Bank Cedar-Riverside neighborhood has always been a place of welcome and hope. Many of our residents are refugees or transplanted migrants who have come here seeking safety, opportunity, and a sense of belonging. In this current dark time of federal occupation, many have gone into hiding, been forced out of work, or faced other frightening circumstances that make the cost of living an immediate hardship. Housing stability is at risk for so many, and there is no clear end in sight.

This fund is dedicated to supporting our neighbors by covering missing or lost rent payments. Every dollar raised will be carefully vetted and paid directly to housing management companies, ensuring that families can remain in their homes and their caring housing providers maintain the quality structures in which they can safely live their lives. Our goal is to provide immediate relief and a sense of security, so that our community can continue to thrive.

The West Bank Cedar-Riverside neighborhood has a long and storied history of welcoming newcomers, as marked by Society Dania, established in 1875. Many nations' peoples have resided in this loving community, and we are doing everything within our capabilities to sustain that legacy and pass it forward to future generations. Please consider a donation—not just for the sake of the current people, but for all those we hope to welcome in the years to come. We are the huddled mass, yearning to be free, and we could use all the support offered to us.
