US Bank Gives Home Start $10,000

By: Jennifer Personette

We are so excited about US Bank's generosity. The funding will go toward Home Start's "Maternity Shelter Program."

The Maternity Shelter Program prevents homelessness among under-served young women and their children by offering supervised housing in an urban region that suffers from an extreme lack of affordable housing for low-income renters. These young women and children, without Home Start’s support, are at increased risk of developing physical or emotional health and safety problems including those related to substance abuse, child maltreatment, domestic violence, and becoming chronically dependent on the social service system. Home Start’s educational programs help to give these young women the tools they need to rise above these risks.
