Homelessness is often called “the invisible problem.” But while you may not see it every day, it’s here—in our community. Over 1400 children in the Madison school district were identified as homeless last year. It doesn’t have to be this way though. Together we can provide these families a pathway out of homelessness—a pathway to success. At the Road Home, we provide more than crisis intervention. We focus on long-term solutions—solutions that we know work because we have seen their impact over and over. Join with us to make a difference for families experiencing homelessness by donating now or read on to learn about ways to maximize your gift.
