Now more than ever, we need the support of those who are fortunate enough to have secure housing to stand with our human family who don’t and make sure homelessness to be a priority to our lawmakers!

If you follow us regularly, you probably already know that in the City of Memphis invests $0 in direct homeless services. Most of the homeless services that exist in Memphis rely of federal HUD funding to continue and serve those in our community who are in need. Meaning, any cut to that funding would be devastating to a city already on the brink.
So what can you do? Congress is back in session for what remains of 2018, and we need to make sure that we
need you to flood your congressman with letters about HUD funding is critical for our homeless programs. Not sure what to say? You can go to to the National Alliance to End Homelessness website, Click HERE, look up your members’ contact information and send them a personalized message with this pre-populated letter. Please take the time to share this with your friends and family and let’s make our voices heard!
Rest In Peace, Roderick
We regret to inform you that Mr. Roderick Baldwin from the Door of Hope has passed away. Roderick was also known as the late Ms. June Averyt’s sidekick, as he drove the clients to her place for classes for years. Most recently, he had become trainer for the vendors of the Bridge Street Paper. Perhaps many may known him for his tireless effort to demand housing for the homeless and his desire for everyone to have a home. The funeral will be held at MJ Ford Funeral Home on 12 South Parkway (near south parkway and Florida) on Saturday, December 8, 2018 at 4p.m. The repast will be at Door of Hope after the service. RIP Mr. Baldwin. You will be missed by all who knew you.
