Your Impact: Turning Miles into Milestones

When you participate, you aren’t just finishing a race—you’re helping neighbors in Detroit, Hamtramck, and Highland Park cross the finish line into stable housing.

Housing is the first step, but stability is the journey: Your contribution ensures no one has to walk that path alone. Funds raised provide more than just a roof: they provide the foundation for a fresh start. Your support directly funds:

• Essential Documentation: Obtaining IDs, Social Security cards, and birth certificates.
• Move-in Costs: Covering fees and deposits that often stand in the way of a new home.
• Home & Life Essentials:
  • Household Necessities: Providing items to turn a house into a home.
  • Daily Support: Funding transportation passes and school supplies.
  • Long-Term Stability: Wraparound Services: We provide counseling and support services to ensure lasting independence.
