Shelter Kalamazoo

Tax deductible
Help Shelter Kalamazoo End Homelessness in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Your generous donation will be used as part of a rental voucher to pay for rent and other essentials to provide housing for homeless families, individuals and veterans residing in Kalamazoo/Kalamazoo County, Michigan

Once we have enough funds, rental vouchers (grants) will be allocated and prioritized. Some grants are planned for individuals who have funds, but not enough money to pay for a rental or housing unit. We pledge to offset the difference thereby permitting those less fortunate to secure a home. In other cases, the voucher/grant shall be allocated at 100 percent of need.

How long will the housing voucher/grant last?
All housing vouchers will last for one year. We believe that 12 months should be adequate for a family or individual to secure employment, medical treatment and other services to improve their overall quality of life.

Factoid: In 2011, Governor Rick Snyder signed legislation that would end cash assistance welfare benefits after a family has been receiving payments for 48 months or more.  About 12,600 cases, many of them families with children, will close and lose their benefits when the law takes effect on October 1. In a statement, Governor Snyder says four years should be long enough for people to become self-sufficient and some people have been getting cash assistance for as long as 14 years.  Source: Michigan Public Radio
