Here at City Relief, we believe that a random act of kindness can go a long way. We've found that just a simple gesture could change the course of someone's day, month, or year.

That is why we decided to drop this book list in your inbox today and hopefully inspire you to read more about how homelessness has developed in America.

Our CEO, Josiah Haken, put together some key takeaways based on his experiences that can be great tools for us all.

We would love to invite you and your church community to join us in our mission as we Feed, Clothe, and Serve our communities facing homelessness.

At first glance, we know that volunteering can help our community— but did you also know it is good for you?

As a guide, we have pulled together some action steps someone can take if they are at risk of homelessness. Maybe the need is rental assistance or support with utility bills; there are resources out there to help.

In New York City, various rental solutions are available to those at risk for homelessness, and we’ve listed a few here as a resource for you.

Maybe you work at or own a socially-minded company? Today, we wanted to highlight how companies can partner with us to meet the needs of our friends on the street.

Our community is full of individuals that have come together to help one another, woven into one diverse family.

We want to take this time to thank you for your continued support in advancing our mission here at City Relief. We know that in the busyness of life, setting aside time to serve and giving sacrificially is no small thing.

These days it seems like everyone is talking about mental health. The term ‘mental illness’ means that someone is having difficulty with their mental health.

Over the years we’ve done our best to create an approachable community where people can feel welcome at all of our outreach events no matter who they are and what they are going through.

This week we want to unpack the Housing First approach, one of several effective and proven methods to reduce homelessness.

This week we want to take some time to address a question that has been asked so many times: “Should I give money to someone on the street?”

We are reaching out this week with some major updates about homelessness legislation. We were recently made aware that the Tennessee lawmakers passed a bill that would make it illegal for people experiencing homelessness to sleep on public property.
