Purchasing a home is a difficult step for many hard-working families in Alberta. As they struggle to save enough for a down payment, they watch as homeownership is pulled further from their reach due to the rising cost of living, climbing interest rates, and high rental costs. Habitat Edmonton is working towards a world where everyone has a safe and decent place to live. Through our affordable homeownership program, families are offered a hand-up so they can exit the rent cycle and own a home. One way you can help is by spreading the word about our program to families looking to own a home. Beyond spreading the word, donating is an important way to support our work. Cash donations, gift-in-kind materials, and donations to ReStore are a few of the ways you can make a difference.

How do your donations impact your community? In conflicts between landlords and tenants, eviction should be the last resort. That’s why we’ve teamed up with partner agencies like Just Mediation Pittsburgh and RentHelpPGH to keep people in their homes. With Just Mediation, landlords and tenants work together to identify solutions. To date, more than 750 families have avoided eviction. RentHelp PGH has helped 3,000 people access rent, utility and legal assistance in the past 3 years. Together with these partners, your donations are helping your neighbors keep a roof over their heads. Help us continue to provide basic needs to the community at uwswpa.org/donate. #ChangemakersUnite

What is a Community Land Trust (CLT) and how does it work? A CLT is a nonprofit organization that stewards land on behalf of the community. The CLT keeps ownership of the land and sells the houses to homebuyers, offering them a 99-year renewable land lease. If the owner decides to sell the resale restriction formula set by the CLT allows the owner to gain equity while maintaining affordability for the next buyer. That way the donations invested in making the home affordable are spread across generations. This creates permanent affordability for the community, where traditional affordable housing only remains affordable for 10-25 years. We are currently fundraising to place five homes in Kīlauea into our Ho'omaluhia Community Land Trust so that they are permanently affordable. We need to raise $626k by May 1st!

I see too many nonprofits and NGOs out there doing good work but using survivor stories to raise money in a way that is exploitive and re-traumatizing to the survivors themselves. Some people will actually refuse life saving assistance in order to protect how their story is told, and I don't blame them. When I am working with a survivor who is being asked to share their story publicly, I advise them not to do so unless their consent is involved at every level of decision making, and their well-being is prioritized. In your efforts to fund good work, check your motivations, intentions, and ability to provide trauma-informed direction. I have watched too many survivors relapse or die because they were not cared for when sharing their stories. #Trauma #Storytelling #Recovery #Nonprofits #NGO #Consent

There is no limit on the amount of the credit that you can claim. The only real limit is that the state caps donations each year at just under $6 million. But that number can go up if we maximize it consistently. Help us make that a reality. #cfefund #educationaladvocacy #scholarship #bettereducation

Lately, we've been reading a lot about the Maui wildfires. The wildfires have now taken over 100 lives (with many still missing) and burned over 3,000 acres of land— destroying families, homes, and livelihoods.   This tragedy is impossible for us to ignore. In support, our employees decided to donate funds, and their donations were matched 500% by KCD PR.   Please join us in supporting these communities and people by donating to an organization that is helping to bolster those in need. We chose the Maui Strong fund; if you'd like to learn more about their efforts, please visit this link. https://lnkd.in/g6qNiU28   #mauistrong #mauistrongfund
