Help SRO Families Transition To New Homes
Han Li of San Francisco Standard tells the story of one family living in a 100-square-foot Single Room Occupancy (SRO) Hotel with four children in San Francisco's Chinatown. Please read and watch the article here. The featured family is one of the 14 families that Chinatown CDC is helping to transition out from SROs to proper housing in March. Another 54 families will be transitioning out before Summer.
City Resources cover only rental payments. SRO families are on limited fixed incomes. In order to move, they need funds to cover the moving costs and to buy essential household items to start a new home.
To support these families, Chinatown CDC has started the "SRO Families Fund" campaign to raise $100,000 (Phase 1) to help the first 14 families pay for the unmet expenses. We hope that you can lend a hand to help these hardworking families restore hope, dignity, and stability to raise their children and rebuild their lives. Without your help, they might end up living in an empty shell apartment for a long time before they can save up to furnish their new apartments. Every dollar counts, and no donation is too small.
DONATE TODAY! We'll use your gifts to pay for moving expenses and purchase necessary items such as beds, new mattresses, tables and chairs, and kitchen appliances to meet the needs of these families. Your donations are 100% tax deductible. We welcome donations by checks, credit cards, stocks, or mutual funds.
Thank you in advance for your generosity and support!
