WAYS YOU CAN HELP

The intersectional issues related to homelessness are overwhelming. While the team at IFSN does all we can to meet the complex needs of the underserved, we need your help.

 

The majority of these households have been members of Sonoma County for 10+ years & cite not being able to afford rent as a primary reason for current housing instability. While these data points can be overwhelming, there is hope! Want to explore how you too can be part of the solution?

Consider a Gift To Individual & Family Support Network Inc.

A gift to IFSN is an investment in people and ending homelessness in Sonoma County.

 

Your support continues the mission of providing housing and a hand up for homeless men, women and children in Sonoma County in an atmosphere of dignity, respect and kindness. Help us provide direct support to our clients in the form of guidance, education, therapy, rental assistance, transportation to and from job interviews, moving expenses and more.

 

Gifts also allow our staff to meet a range of client needs with individually tailored programs and services that adapt to the complex realities of homelessness. 

 

Make IFSN a part of your giving plan, you will be directly helping end homelessness by supporting IFSN in their mission to end homelessness in Sonoma County in an atmosphere of dignity, respect and kindness.
