Unlocking Homes, Unlocking Hope: How BACS Tackles Barriers to Housing

November 30, 2024

Right now, the BACS team is working tirelessly to help more people get into housing for the holidays. Donating to BACS helps your neighbors, neighborhood, and community.

At BACS, we confront the core barriers that create the homelessness epidemic, breaking through issues that keep people from stable housing.

Your support opens the door to brighter futures and lasting housing solutionsĀ  – help us get more people off the streets today!

Community Housing Crisis: BACS buys housing and works with landlords to create affordable housing opportunities.

Economic Instability: BACS addresses poverty by helping secure employment or access eligible benefits.

Policy Overload: The government demands quick fixes; BACS advocates for & provides long-term solutions.

Systemic Barriers: More people fall into homelessness than escape it due to historic inequities – we keep people housed to stop the flow.

Stigma & Mental Health: BACS provides behavioral health services from crisis to wellness, and helps people access stable housing.
