I, on behalf of our team at Tabor and TLC, would like to thank the Off the Streets team for all of its assistance in providing security deposits for those who truly need it when leaving our program. Your exemplary model of giving is to be commended. Without your commitment and dedication to this effort we would not have moved as many households into permanent housing as we have in the past year. This not only provides a quicker exit into permanent housing for those leaving, but opens up a room for those truly in need on the streets or living in uninhabitable or often unimaginable situations. I commend you on your ease of process and the flexibility and speed at which this can happen.

Please understand fighting and ending homelessness is an ongoing battle. It is only with the collaboration and dedication of our friends and community partners that we can make strides toward that lofty goal. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and pray that this teamwork continues on for as long as there are folks in need of permanent housing and experiencing homelessness.

God’s peace to Off the Streets and each and every one of you.
