HomeAid Northern California

📢Need of the Hour – Donate to Tri-Valley Haven 📢

One of ’s most essential services is providing emergency shelter for families fleeing abuse in their homes. Tri-Valley Haven’s new Domestic Violence Shelter, built in partnership with HomeAid Northern California, is aptly named SHILOH, for peace. Tri-Valley Haven has been a vital community resource for decades, each year Tri-Valley Haven receives approximately 4,000 calls for help. That is approximately 11 crisis calls each and every day, from local survivors and their children fleeing abuse.

HomeAid is assisting with the construction of a brand-new facility for Tri-Valley Haven and we need your help to fund the project completion. Once finished this new shelter will increase capacity by 50%, allowing this new facility to give local families in crisis a safe place to call home for decades to come.

Please consider donating to this important regional project, your personal and/or business contributions are tax deductible - donations can be made here:

🎙️ Our own Executive Director, Crisand Giles, just appeared on the Unsheltered Conversations a podcast by — and the conversation is one you won't want to miss.

Crisand joined Glen Martin, a third-generation homebuilder being inducted into the California Homebuilding Foundation Hall of Fame, to talk about what it actually takes to build housing solutions in Northern California.

Some of what Crisand shared:

▲ The jobs-to-housing ratio in NorCal can reach 8 jobs for every 1 housing unit — making it nearly impossible for working families to find stable housing.

▲ Tiny home communities and interim housing models are meeting a real regional need — and not putting a timeline on people when they move in makes all the difference.

▲ "We shouldn't be 'othering' the homeless... each individual is one life incident from being in this situation. That stigma shift will help make it easier for us to build housing and propose more projects."

Show your support for Crisand and HomeAid Northern California — give this episode a listen and share it with someone who needs to hear it. Every play helps spread the message that housing with dignity is possible. 💙
