The 12th annual Avenues for Hope campaign is kicking off the holiday season to help 92 nonprofits provide critical housing and supportive services to Idahoans in need.

Donations made during the 20-day online fundraising campaign provide the funding needed to keep the doors open at these nonprofits. The work they do helps chronically and temporarily homeless, domestic violence survivors, veterans, people with disabilities, vulnerable youth, seniors and low-income Idahoans.

“Access to affordable housing remains one of the greatest challenges in Idaho,” said Gerald M. Hunter, president of Idaho Housing and Finance. “The mission of our Avenues for Hope campaign is to raise the funds Idaho’s network of housing support and shelter organizations need to assist those without a place to call home.”

Avenues for Hope has raised $9.5 million since its inception in 2011. Donors can direct their tax-deductible gifts to one or more nonprofit organizations through December 31 at avenuesforhope.org.
