RI Coalition for the Homeless

Hey everyone,


My name is Jessica Knight and I am a volunteer with the Rhode Island Coalition for the Homeless. I am here to discuss the importance of homeless prevention and affordable housing issues in Rhode Island.


As you may have read, at the beginning of this winter we had 175 Rhode Islanders sleeping outdoors across the state. You may also be interested to know that:

  • 53% of those who are homeless this year are homeless for the first time
  • 40% of RI’s homeless are families
  • 27% are children
  • 12% are employed



The good news is we can do something to help these people find a safe affordable home!


We are asking for your support! You can make a difference by signing a letter to your local representative and your senator urging them to make affordable housing and homelessness prevention a key issue this legislative session.

Thank you!
Have a great day!
