According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness (NAEH), between 700,000 and 800,000 people are homeless on any night in the U.S., with between 2.5 and 3.5 million people experiencing homelessness during the course of a year.
To build dignified housing
where homeless families and
individuals can rebuild their lives.
HomeAid has provided housing for
more than 80,000 individuals who
have been rendered temporarily
homeless due to circumstances beyond
their control. Through the generosity of America's builders, their trade partners, financial institutions, and the public, HomeAid has built more than 150 multi-unit homes with an additional 62 in development. These homes provide more than 4,000 beds per night nationwide. Each bed serves an average of three people per year.
