How does Push Open Doors Function?

Push Open Doors works with organizations that are currently providing help to the homeless.

We educate potential donors – such as you, reading this – about the program and we reach to networks within communities to encourage participation.

On the other side of the equation, Push Open Doors identifies organizations that are addressing the problem of homelessness and provides them with additional funding.

Our primary goal is to fund programs that provide help for the homeless. Everyone deserves shelter.

If our program creates awareness and inspires some people to become more involved in addressing this issue, that would be a wonderful by-product of our work.

Already there are a number of agencies serving the homeless, and many are doing tremendous work. We are not a service agency in that sense. Nor do we want to reinvent the wheel – just help it continue spinning.

Our mission is to provide additional funding for the agencies that are already making a difference.

In the early 2000′s, only 20% of homeless families ever received help in finding housing. Keep in mind that was before Katrina or this devastating recession, which has put a renewed focus on homelessness due to the mortgage foreclosure catastrophe that swelled the pool by numbers immeasurably.

As most of us know, finding suitable housing under the best of circumstances is a difficult task. When you add all the challenges that a homeless family or individual experiences, particularly the financial constraints, finding affordable housing becomes a daunting proposition.

And these are hardly the best of circumstances.
