As we approach the end of the year
As we approach the end of 2024, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks for supporting Positive Action in Housing. Your generosity helps us give a voice to some of the most vulnerable people in our society —those who are forced to rely on charity due to enforced impoverishment, unable to work because of legal restrictions, and experiencing homelessness and destitution as a result. Many of those we support are also vulnerable due to age, illness, discrimination, or the lack of a support system.
