The ninth annual Avenues for Hope Housing Challenge will provide critical resources to approximately sixty nonprofit housing providers to ensure Idahoans in need have access to safe, stable, affordable housing, and supportive services.

$3.1 million has been disbursed since the Home Partnership Foundation created the campaign in 2011. These funds have supported more than sixty organizations, helping enhance operations and the services they provide.

The online campaign uses a secure website (www.avenuesforhope.org) and unique donation pages for each participating nonprofit to promote their organization and current needs. Businesses and individuals are encouraged to make gifts of $25 or more to the nonprofits they choose to support. Only one gift per donor, per nonprofit will count towards prizes (qualified solely by email address.)
