SSIHC and the Montogomery Housing Partnership Team up to Provide Housing for Hurricane Survivors

SSIHC and the Montgomery Housing Partnership (MHP) have formed a partnership to provide up to 11 units of supported transitional housing for families from the devastated Gulf Coast Region. MHP will provide the housing and SSIHC will provide the support services for up to 12 months until the families recover from the initial shock of their loss. Thanks for a generous grant from the Freddie Mac Foundation, SSIHC will provide a range of intensive case management, mental health, and job training services designed to help families rebuild their lives. Volunteer mentors from sponsoring congregations will help fammilies connect to their new communities.

We need volunteers to help move families into their new homes. We especially need drivers with trucks. Also, you can help by donating:

  • Diapers and formula
  • Household cleaning products and more
  • please see the "support us" page for more detail
If you can, please also consider making a donation to SSIHC to help us cover program costs.

Welcome to the Silver Spring Interfaith Housing Coalition (SSIHC)

We are a private, 501c3 non-profit coalition of local congregations that provides housing, friendship, and support for our neighbors who are homeless.

Our staff work with dozens of volunteers to renovate and maintain affordable housing for people with very low incomes in Silver Spring and Takoma Park. Volunteer Mentors serve as extended family members to help our residents recover the self-esteem and sense of community so often lost in the chaos of poverty and homelessness.

The Silver Spring Interfaith Housing Coalition builds brighter futures for our residents and stronger communities for all of us. Whether you belong to one of our member congregations or want to support our work we welcome you to put your faith into action by contacting us today.


 

We participated with
Magic Johnson to support SSIHC in

in 2004, 2005 and 2006

It was fun for players and spectators alike!
And it all benefited children and families who are homeless. Proceeds went to SSIHC and six other local nonprofits serving the homeless.
