Join Team Housing Forward, and race to end homelessness!

With every step you take, you will be assisting in transforming the lives of individuals and families experiencing homelessness and housing crisis. 

You can do it... and we will help!  

Team Housing Forward runners have a fundraising minimum of $1,750 and we will make sure you have everything you need to reach the finish line. Note- this is the fundraising minimum for all charities after the drawing. 

Your commitment will enable Housing Forward to provide comprehensive, wrap-around support from the onset of a housing crisis to its resolution, preventing homelessness whenever possible, and providing permanent, stable housing for the most vulnerable members of our community.
