UNITY is a nonprofit coordinating community partnerships to end homelessness.
By providing housing and services, our coalition has reduced homelessness in New Orleans by 87% since 2007. However, soaring rents have created a post-pandemic crisis of homelessness. We need your help to relieve human suffering.
UNITY secures highly competitive federal grants that provide rent assistance and services to over 3500 people a night to end their homelessness and keep them from falling back into homelessness. Funding decisions for these federal grants are made in a highly transparent process by the Continuum of Care Governing Council, which is made up primarily of our government partners. An independent auditor reviews UNITY’s books every year, and UNITY has a longstanding record of clean audits.
