Our Homes
Supporting Families and Community Well-Being
Immigration enforcement creates ripple effects across entire communities. Families experience financial hardship, emotional stress, and barriers to accessing basic needs such as food, healthcare, and employment.
Our Homes provides direct support to families while strengthening the network of community organizations serving them.
Through food distribution, financial assistance, mental health resources, and partnerships with trusted local nonprofits, the initiative helps stabilize families during periods of crisis.
Key Initiatives
• Direct food and financial assistance for families
• Grants to community-based partner organizations
• Mental health resources for families and nonprofit staff
• Resource navigation and community support services
“Emergency support funding like this allows grassroots organizations like Increase The Peace to respond to our communities with love, care, and dignity when it matters most. It helps ensure our team can keep showing up for young people and families while strengthening the informal networks of support in our neighborhoods, from migra watches, to walking school buses that keep students safe, to supporting local food pantries and community gatherings. Investments like this allow community-based groups to act quickly so people can continue showing up and stay connected to their community”.
