Marion Cares is inviting local businesses and organizations to take part in its“15 for 15” Community Challenge—an initiative designed to prevent homelessness before it begins. Building on a $15,000 Housing Assistance Grant from the Marion Civil Rights Commission, the goal is to recruit 15 partners to contribute $1,000 each, creating a $30,000 fund to support families facing housing instability.
These contributions provide timely assistance for rent, utilities, and other urgent needs—helping families avoid eviction, keep children in their schools, and remain connected to their community. Even small investments at the right time can make a lasting difference, reducing the long-term impacts and costs of homelessness.
Businesses and organizations interested in becoming a “15 for 15” partner can help double the impact of this grant and strengthen housing stability across the Marion community.
