Making an apartment a home
People transitioning from homelessness into an apartment are starting over and need basic, yet essential items to make their apartment a home. Our Move-in Kits have been a part of housing people for 20 years. Helping people secure – and retain – permanent housing is our mission, and we do this by placing people into rental apartments across the metro area and by operating three apartment buildings. Over the past year, we helped 900 people secure housing. Our work does not stop there. We continue providing follow-up services critical to success and ensuring that once housed, our participants retain their housing.
Each Move-in Kit laundry basket contains these essential items:
kitchen - plates, bowls, silverware, glasses, cups, pots & pans, cutting & paring knives, spatula, can opener, measuring cups, dish towels
cleaning supplies - sponges, broom, mop, dish soap, hand soap, all-purpose cleaner
bathroom items - bath & hand towels, washcloths, shower curtain & rings, toilet brush, bathmat
toiletries - shampoo, soap, toothpaste & toothbrush, deodorant, toilet paper
bedroom items - pillow, sheets, blanket, coverlet
