The Grand Rapids Coalition to End Homelessness is a coalition of more than 150 governmental, private and religious organizations that work with shelters, housing providers, service providers, state and local agencies, foundations, businesses, local elected officials and private citizens throughout the greater Grand Rapids area to prevent homelessness and to provide support for people in crisis. All funds donated for the MAJIC concert will go directly to the Congregational Partnership Program (congregations are matched with vulnerable households and provide housing subsidy and friendly support for one year). The goal is to provide housing stability so that households can become sustainable. No one deserves to be without safe, affordable, permanent housing.

What can you or your church do to help the Coalition to End Homelessness?

More church partners (like Bethlehem) are needed to support the Vision to End Homelessness by 2014. Please consider approaching your church to be a partner and promote affordable permanent housing for all. Information is available through GRACE (Grand Rapids Area Center for Ecumenism). Contact Lori Fedewa, Resource Coordinator for Congregational Partnerships for more information.
