Making Waves to End Homelessness

"How can I practice social distancing without a home?"

This is the question many Rhode Islanders have asked since March 2020, and will continue to ask through the summer.

On any given night, 325 families and 730 single adults experience homelessness in Rhode Island. But this summer, more will be in need due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

By participating in this auction, you can renew our year-round advocacy efforts, preserve our Voices of Homelessness program, and maintain the Coordinated Entry and Homeless Management Information Systems.

Most importantly, your participation means another year spent fighting for all Rhode Islanders' right to a safe home.

Auctions items include tickets, merchandise, and gift cards donated by celebrated Rhode Island establishments.

*Please note: only the amount paid in excess of the stated fair market value is allowable as a charitable deduction


About Rhode Island Coalition for the Homeless

For more than 30 years the Rhode Island Coalition for the Homeless has worked to end and prevent homelessness in the Ocean State. Our team creates lasting solutions to end homelessness within our four focus areas: Policy & Advocacy, Systems Transformation, Constituent Engagement and Training & Support for Service Providers.

Year-round efforts include our Voices of Homelessness program that empowers individuals with lived-experience to share their stories, regular Homeless System Orientations to provide training to service providers, and policy advocacy campaigns to shape Rhode Island legislation to eliminate barriers placed in front of individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
