Winter Housing Campaign 2025
A home isn’t a luxury. For veterans, it’s recovery.
Harbor Bridge pairs Housing First with veteran peer navigators. We find safe, stable housing first, then wrap services around the person — not the other way around.
Tonight in our city
37 veterans are sleeping outside
We can house 12 more this month with your help.
Concrete help, measurable outcomes
We publish our numbers quarterly. No vague promises.
What your donation does
- $45 — one night of emergency shelter with peer support
- $250 — security deposit assistance for one veteran
- $1,200 — first month rent + move-in support
- $5,000 — funds a full Housing First placement, including 6 months of case management
100% of restricted housing funds go directly to rent, deposits, and move-in costs. Administrative costs are covered by unrestricted giving.
How it works
- 1. Intake by veterans. Peer navigators who have lived experience meet people where they are.
- 2. Housing first. We secure a safe apartment, no preconditions.
- 3. Support that lasts. Weekly check-ins, benefits enrollment, health care linkage, and community.
Stories, not slogans
“I spent three winters in the encampment. Harbor Bridge didn’t ask me to be ‘ready.’ They just helped me get keys. I’ve been in my apartment for 18 months.”
“The peer navigator understood the VA paperwork nightmare because he’d been through it. That trust made the difference.”
Give what you can. It adds up.
Monthly gifts sustain housing the longest. One-time gifts move people in now.
